NOTICE
CITY OF HARBOR SPRINGS
Spring 2013 Leaf and Brush Pick-up Program
Your City staff will again be providing a Leaf and Brush Pick-up service this spring, according to the following schedule and limitations:
April 8, 2013 — May 17, 2013
Accepted Materials:
- Leaves
- Brush (maximum 3” diameter, limit one pickup equivalent)
- Yard Waste (flowers, plants, grass, etc.)
• All material must be placed at curbside (not in the street).
• Please do not use plastic bags for leaves and yard waste
• Please use separate piles for leaves, brush and yard waste
• Leaves containing branches, sod, dirt, brush or rubbish debris will not be picked up.
Limits on Brush Pick-Up
This service is limited to approximately one pick-up truck full (unchipped) equivalent of brush per resident/property owner per month. Brush and limbs no larger than 3” diameter will be accepted for pick-up.
This service is provided only for the removal of seasonal brush and leaves typically cleared by the resident or property owner. We cannot offer the service:
1. Where the resident/property owner has hired a commercial service to trim trees or bushes or clear brush. The service provider will be responsible for removal.
2. When trees or bushes or brush are cleared to facilitate a construction project for the resident/property owner, in which case the resident/property owner or contractor will be responsible for removal.
3. When the brush pile exceeds one pick-up truck full equivalent (unchipped) in which case the Superintendent of Public Works will notify the resident/property owner that he/she is responsible for removal.
City Residents and property owners ONLY may take leaves, grass and other yard waste generated from in-City locations directly to the City’s compost pile (not in plastic bags) at Kiwanis Park at any time. We CANNOT accept brush at Kiwanis Park or any other location due to prior abuses of this service.
If you have any questions about the Leaf and Brush Pick-up Program, please contact Joel Clark at the Department of Public Works at 526-0604.
