Through the Street Division, the Town of Leesburg provides collection of brush free of charge to residents receiving curbside refuse and recycling pickup. Brush pickup includes ONLY branches and limbs no larger than 8 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter. Brush should be placed by the curb Monday evening for collection – the chipper truck circulates through the town on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Collection times will vary depending on the season and schedule of the collection unit. No call is necessary to request brush collection. 

Please refer to the following guidelines when preparing brush for collection:

DO	DON’T
Include tree limbs under 8 ’ in length and under 6” in diameter Place at curb line Monday night Stack or pile	No firewood No stumps No fence posts No decking material No pressure-treated lumber No garden tool handles No vines or yard waste Do not leave ties or wires attached to limbs Garden waste No root balls from shrubs or trees No rocks or dirt Do not mix with refuse, recycling or yard waste Do not block sidewalks Do not place brush in streets or in front of storm drains or other utilities

***Please note that if you use a contractor to provide landscaping services or tree trimming, the town will not collect debris from these services. You must negotiate removal with your contractor or arrange to have the debris removed yourself. Town services are only provided to residents performing smaller yard maintenance projects and are not designed as a substitute for contractor services.

Items not acceptable for collection will be tagged.
