The Town of Durham Public Works Department  continues the annual spring curbside brush pick up.

Please be sure to take note of the very strict guidelines that need to be followed in order for your brush to be picked up.

·       Brush should be less than 4” in diameter and not longer than 6 feet in length.

·       Brush should be stacked at roadside in an open area, away from mailboxes, trees, telephone poles and other structures.

·       Brush should be stacked perpendicular to the roadway, butt end toward the road.

·       No leaves, stumps, wood or foreign matter will be picked up.

·       Each household will be strictly limited to one truck load during this collection. In an effort to be more efficient, it is recommended that neighbors combine piles on property lines.

·       Loads shall not measure any larger than 4’ high, 6’ wide and 8’ long. If your load does not follow these guidelines it will not be removed unless combined with a neighbor.

The Town will publish in the paper, The Town Times, and also on our website, www.townofdurhamct.org, each street/area to be passed each week. We will make one pass only so be sure to check. Residents with questions may call the Public Works Office at 349-1816.
