NOTICE TO GLOUCESTER CITY RESIDENTS: New Branch, Brush, and Grass Recycling Guidelines
Friday, March 25, 2011
Effective Immediately
The branch, brush and soft vegetation recycling program will be combined into one recycling program. These items will all be collected on Wednesday of each week. Items included in this recycling program include:
BRANCHES, BRUSH, GRASS, OTHER VEGETATIVE YARD WASTE and SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAVES.
BRANCES should be cut into four foot lengths and placed into orderly, untangled piles.
It will no longer be necessary to call to arrange a special pickup for branches, unless you have a very large amount. If the amount is very large you should call 456-0781 prior to Wednesday to arrange for a special pickup.
- GRASS should be placed in trash cans or plastic bags without the tie
- DO NOT EXCEED 50 LBS. PER CONTAINER
- DO NOT MIX ANY NON-VEGETATIVE ITEMS WITH THESE RECYCLABLES
If you have any questions about these new guidelines, please call the Public Works Department at 456-0781. Your cooperation and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
