Brush Collection
Medford Township will provide two brush collections during 2016 — one in the spring and one in late summer/early fall. The spring dates for collection are as follows:
Zone 1: Weeks of March 14 and March 21
Zone 2: Weeks of March 28 and April 4
Zone 3: Weeks of April 11 and April 18
Zone 4: Weeks of April 25 and May 2
Zone 5: Weeks of May 9 and May 16
Each street will be collected once. Brush placed at the street for collection outside of these collection dates will not be collected.
Brush shall include the pruning of trees, shrubs, bushes or vines, but exclude grass clippings, flowers, weeds, tree trunks, stumps, and leaves. If the excluded items are mixed with the brush, the material will not be collected. All brush must be piled neatly at the edge of the property and cannot be placed in any roadway or sidewalk.
Brush should not exceed 4–6 feet in length, and should not be any larger than 6 inches in diameter. As a reminder for those residents who utilize a private contractor, the contractor is responsible for the removal of the brush from the property.
Crews will make every effort to adhere to the above schedule. Residents who need to dispose of brush outside of the above schedule may bring their material to the public works yard during regular yard hours — Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and every third Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., excluding holidays.
Please note that excessive amounts of brush could result in delayed collection of the next scheduled zone. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
