Small amounts of brush and tree limbs must be placed in reusable waterproof containers, i.e. garbage cans - plastic or metal. Brush or tree limbs placed in cardboard boxes or bags (plastic or paper) will not be collected. Larger amounts of tree debris should be cut to 4 foot lengths and piled parallel with the curb on your property.
