Maintenance Department Services

Curbside Brush Pick Up is available for a $50 fee. All brush must be placed at the curb with all trimmed ends facing the same direction (towards the street) for quicker handling by the road crew. Residents should call or go online to schedule a brush pick up once the brush is ready at the curb.

Monthly Brush Chipping is available free of charge in the parking lot behind the Township Administration Building from April through December. This program normally runs the first Saturday of the month from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. but may vary due to holidays or other events.

Storm Damage Condition

A Storm Damage Condition may be declared by the Township Maintenance Supervisor following a major storm that causes widespread damage.

When a Storm Damage Condition is in effect:

• Residents with downed branches or limbs must submit a service request—either by phone or through the online request form—within two (2) working days of the storm to be eligible for free pickup.
• Branches and limbs must be placed neatly at the curb within two (2) weeks of the storm.

Requests submitted after the two-day deadline, or debris placed at the curb after the two-week period, may not qualify for no-charge pickup.

Curbside Leaf Collection

From mid-October through mid-December, the Maintenance Department collects leaves along Township streets. No bagging is required during this period.

• Place leaves at the curb or on the road berm where no curb exists.
• Do not place leaves in ditches, as this can clog the storm sewer system.
• Leaves must be free of other yard waste, including grass, twigs, or flowers.

Crews typically service each street once per week. However, collection may be delayed during periods of heavy leaf volume, snow or ice emergencies, or equipment issues.

For information on when your street was last serviced, contact the Maintenance Department at (513) 791-8447.
