We listened! Golden Valley tree and brush removal is coming soon: To help residents more easily dispose of tree debris, the City will begin a curbside brush pickup Monday, July 1, 2013. Crews will make one sweep through each residential neighborhood, picking up tree debris only (no stumps). Because of the extensive tree damage throughout the community, it is unclear how long it will take to complete the brush pickup.
Residents are responsible for getting brush and logs to the curb for pickup. Here’s how to prepare your tree debris for pickup:
Condense brush and logs into two separate piles, one pile of each per household. Logs and brush can be no longer than 12 feet.
Keep piles completely clear of sidewalks, mailboxes, streetlights and sign poles, landscaping and fences, overhead tree branches, and power lines. The contractor uses trucks with automated loading arms to pick up the brush piles. If your brush is stacked near a restricted area or tossed in a pile rather than stacked, it will be left behind. The contractor will not load brush by hand.
If piles don’t fit between the curb and sidewalk, place them on the boulevard behind the sidewalk.
No leaves, grass clippings, stumps, roots, building lumber, landscape timbers, or bags of garbage will be picked up. If any of these items are mixed in the brush stacks, the entire stack will be left behind. The contractor will not sort through brush stacks for acceptable material.
