Brush Collection

Dear Town of Clay Resident:

For the calendar year 2025, your brush will be picked up each week by Chuck-It Haulers under contract with the Town of Clay.

Holiday Pick-up: The weeks of Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving- if your collection day falls on or after an observed holiday your collection day will be the day after the normal pick-up day and will return to normal schedule the following week.  Unless otherwise noted all other holidays will remain on regular schedule.  Holidays that fall on the weekend will not be observed during the week. 

• Limbs will be collected provided they are bundled and tied together (twine and rope ONLY), less than five feet long and less than 50 pounds in weight. Limbs shall have a diameter no greater than 6 inches. Removal and disposal of trees are the sole responsibility of the property owner and are not under the brush contract.
• The preferred method of disposal is to use paper lawn and leaf bags or burlap (not to exceed 50lbs) as both will be wholly disposed in the truck. The use of trash cans or other rigid plastic containers is at the discretion of the homeowner. 
• Yard waste will not be collected from: cardboard boxes, metal/plastic barrels, collapsible wire bags or wheelbarrows.
• Plastic bags may not be used either inside or outside of the rigid containers.
• Items should not be placed in any manner that obstructs traffic, pedestrians, or drainage.   
• Torn, ripped or overweight bagged items will not be collected.
• Items must be placed in a manner easily visible and accessible.
• Dirt/Sod must be removed from plant roots.  Dirt/Sod will not be disposed of as brush.

Items that will not be collected include: pumpkins, rocks, rubbish, refuse, recyclables, landscaping fabric, construction materials, furniture, appliances, sinks, tubs, white goods, carpet and other appliances, tires, batteries, automobile parts, or brush from other districts. Any of these items mistakenly left at the curb will not be picked up and according to Town regulations, must be removed from the street side before 6 p.m. on collection day.
