Fall: Clean-up, Fix-up Time

Limb and Branch Pick-Up

The Fall Limb and Branch Pick-up begins the

week of November 6, 2023.

Limbs and branches from your yard should be placed at the curb by 7 AM, November 6 with the cut end toward the street.

As a reminder, this is not a leaf or yard debris pick up. It is a limb and branch pick-up only. Please --

no stumps
no dirt
no dead, potted plants
no containers
no trash
no leaves
or other yard materials.

And don't worry if your limbs and branches are not picked up on the 6th. It will take about a week to finish the Glenmore circuit. However, the GCA contractor will make only one pass per residence, so please be ready and get your branches and limbs to the curb by November 6.
