Fairfield plans Spring Brush Pickup

The city of Fairfield is planning its annual Spring Brush Pickup starting May 2 at 7 a.m.

•All brush (burnable/chippable) should be put in a neat pile adjacent to the street (curbside).

•Brush pick-up is for residential use only. The city will not pick up from businesses.

•Nothing bigger than 24 inches in diameter and 13 feet in length.

This does not include leaves and yard waste, which will continue to be picked up in the City Yard Waste Bags with regular trash pickup day.

•Brush must be placed by the curb and away from poles, fences, and water shut-offs by 7 a.m. on May 2, to ensure pick up. Crews will not make a second trip. If any damage occurs due to brush being placed over water shut-offs, the city will not be responsible.

•Piles must not interfere with traffic.

•Please do not place brush out before Monday, April 25.

•This will be an ideal time to do any brush / tree trimming.
