Brush Collection

The Village of Ashwaubenon Public Works Department provides curbside brush collection for routine yard trimmings. Residents must request a brush collection to have their brush or brush piles picked up. Brush collections are completed on a four-week cycle using mapped routes based on scheduled pickups. Please review the brush collection guidelines to ensure your brush is prepared for pickup.

1. Step 1: Visit ashwaubenon.gov/brush

   Residents must request a brush collection to have their brush or brush piles picked up. Requests can be submitted year-round.

2. Step 2: Enter Your Information

   Enter your name, contact information, address, and a description of the brush.

3. Step 3: Place Your Brush at the Curb

   Once your request is submitted, place your brush at the curb according to the brush collection guidelines. Brush is collected on an as-needed basis, with a four-week-or-less cycle between pickups. Items will only be picked up if a request is submitted.

To help the Village provide timely and efficient brush collection, property owners should follow the guidelines below for properly placing brush at the curb.

• 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.
