Village of Mechanicsburg Street Department Spring 2021 Brush Pick up

Brush pick up is provided as a free service to our residents who are cleaning up the yard around their homes. Brush is picked up on the first Monday of the month.

Please follow these rules:

• Brush cannot be larger than 4” in diameter or longer than 4’ long and must be in manageable bundles.
• No yard waste. (Grass clippings, sod, leaves etc.). No plastic bags.
• Do not blow grass clippings into street. This washes into the catch basins and causes them to clog.
• No thorns, briars, or poison ivy in bundles.
• We will not pick up trimmings done by a private contractor. They are required to haul away their own debris.
• Do not place brush in the street. Please place on the grass between the street and sidewalk. The debris could clog our storm sewers if it is placed in the street.
• No trash. (Building materials, fence post, shingles etc.).
• No stumps or bushes with root balls
• No Wheelbarrows or containers with debris.
• Any piles not adhering to the rules will be rejected and will not be reconsidered for pick up.
• Per Ordinance 16-06 Prohibiting disposal of leaves and other waste matter into storm sewers within the Village: Residents will be warned for disposing grass clippings into the gutters while mowing and any other violations will be documented and can be charged with a minor misdemeanor for each day of non-compliance.
