From the Waukesha Freeman:
Annual brush pickup to be held first week of May
WAUKESHA — Waukesha’s annual brush pickup is right around the corner.
City residents may begin putting branches out in front of their homes for Waukesha’s annual brush pickup on April 24.
The brush/branch pickup will occur from May 1-5 on the same day as residents’ garbage pickup, though the city will collect the branches, not garbage drivers.
Residents must have their brush and branches out by 7 a.m. the day of pickup.
Brush and branches must be set on the grass area between the curb and sidewalk. Materials may not be placed in the street and should not block the sidewalk.
The brush and branches should be set with the butt ends at the curb unless the length of the brush and branches blocks the sidewalk, in which case they need to be set the long way.
Branches and brush can be up to 3 inches in diameter and 6 feet long. Residents should not include very small twigs, other yard waste or leaves. They will not be collected.
Brush and branches shouldn’t be tied into bundles, nor put into bags, boxes or other containers. Rather, brush branches should be kept loose inpiles on the ground. No other objects should be included in the pile.
Residents may also bring their brush and branches to the city drop-off center, 750 Sentry Drive, for free during open public hours that week. The drop-off hours will be held Wednesday, May 3, and Saturday, May 6.
