Brush Collection

The Village of Ashwaubenon Public Works Department completes brush collection on an as needed basis and as workload allows. The collection progresses using GIS Mapping in the most efficient route of travel based on pick-up locations. Generally, the cycle of collection in the Village takes a 4-week timeframe.  The curbside brush collection is meant for trimmings and not full-scale tree removals. By everyone following this guidance, we will be able to provide curbside brush collection in a timely manner for all residents.

In order for the Village to provide timely and efficient collection of brush, a number of guidelines and illustrations are provided below to help property owners correctly place brush for this service:

• Brush collection is meant for residential tree/brush trimming completed by Village residents. If a contractor is hired to complete tree/brush removal, the contractor must cut, chip, remove and dispose of all material. Please contact Brown County Port & Resource Recovery at 920.492.4950 for details of the program.
