Kiwanis honors citizens for exemplary volunteer service
six inches in diameter and placed all in the same direction. Leave limbs as long as possible and any limbs larger than 6-inch diameter may not be picked up. Refer to the Brush Dumpster Program for disposal of larger limbs.
Employees are instructed to limit time at each stop to 15 minutes, so brush should be limited accordingly.
Any smaller branches should be tied and bundled with natural fiber cord that is biodegradable (cotton, linen, or twine). Bundles should not be tied with wire, plastic, or nylon cord. All materials will be run through a chipper, so ensure that there are no foreign objects (metal, building materials, rocks, etc.) included as these could cause damage to the equipment or injury to those operating the equipment.
Each bundle must not be heavier than 60 pounds and needs to be placed between the curb and sidewalk or at the edge of the roadway, not in the curb line or on the pavement. Placement of debris in the street is a traffic and safety hazard and is a violation of city ordinances. Residents will be responsible for some minor clean up and disposal after city pickup. Do not park in front of brush piles. Brush piles that have blocked access or are obstructed by vehicles may not be able to be picked up.
All calls and emails must report name, address, and a contact phone number or email. Brush must be placed before 7 a.m. Monday to ensure it will be picked up that week. Crews will only make one pass of each area.
The program is limited to one pickup per household during each area pickup week.
The Brush Dumpster Program can be utilized for larger limbs and larger quantities of brush. This program provides residents a roll-off dumpster to be loaded by the property owner and disposed of by the city. For more information, call 513-867-4200 or visit fairfield-city.org/415/Brush-Collection.
If residents have small quantities, they may place them out with regular Rumpke trash pick-up at no additional charge.
