YARD DEBRIS

If you are doing your own trimming, FCC will pick up select yard debris on Monday mornings. Debris can be placed curbside in a trash bin with no bag, paper bags found at local hardware stores or tied with string and placed on the opposite side of the driveway from where your regular garbage can would be placed. There are weight, size and material restrictions to take special note of. For example, tree limbs can’t exceed 4 feet and items can’t exceed 40 pounds. Soil, sod, bricks and stones are not considered yard waste. Please contact FCC for further details.

BrightView trim crew also picks up debris on Thursdays. Debris can be placed curbside in a trash bin with no bag, paper bags found at local hardware stores, or tied with string. Crew will not pick up debris in beds until trim crew is working on your home.
