Brush

Curbside Collection


The Town of Ashland offers curbside brush pickup for all eligible residential properties (only brush and leaves originating from the property itself may be placed at the curb; brush brought in from other locations will NOT be collected).

Acceptable items*


  • Branches and tree/shrub trimmings three inches in diameter or less
  • Leaves and grass/weed clippings
  • Plant cuttings

*Acceptable items with dirt attached to them will NOT be collected

Unacceptable items**


  • Branches, shrubs, and tree trunks larger than three inches in diameter
  • Construction materials
  • Dirt, or anything with dirt attached to it
  • Clumps of grass from bed edging
  • Lumber
  • Pet waste
  • Logs or stumps

**Unacceptable items falling within appropriate size/weight limits may be placed in your trash cart for collection

If piles are found to be unacceptable, the town will leave a note on door as to why we can’t pick it up, and the property owners are responsible for removal. 

Guidelines


  • Place all brush to be picked up at the edge of your property facing the street
  • Avoid placing brush in ditches, gutters, sidewalks, or streets
  • Create a separate pile for loose leaves or/and grass clippings so that they can be collected by the leaf vacuum truck

Brush is collected on a regular basis; if you notice brush at the curb for longer than two weeks, let us know - you can use Request Tracker to submit a brush collection request.
