Curbside Chipping

During the spring, summer and fall, the City will chip all brush, branches and limbs that have been placed on the curbside each Monday by 7:00 am. Branches and limbs must be no longer than six (6) feet in length and no more than six (6) inches in diameter. All brush must be either tied or placed in manageable bundles. Smaller twigs must be placed in containers for pickup. By placing the brush in manageable bundles and containers, you decrease the amount of time spent chipping. Please do not take these items to the compost site. Please do not pile grass, leaves, or debris into the street or terrace area with the brush and tree limbs.

Fall leaves may be raked onto the street along the curb for street pickup. Please do not mix branches, limbs, grass or brush with the leaves.

Yard waste may be disposed of at the City compost site daily. The City compost site is located on W. Ryan Street (Hwy 10), behind the Vocational School.

Yard waste includes all materials originating in the yard and garden, which are capable of natural decomposition, including leaves, grass clippings, and other vegetation, exclusive of stumps, root balls, brush, limbs and branches. Please do not leave boxes and bags at the compost site. These materials will not readily decompose.

Homeowners are encouraged to return grass clippings to the soil in their lawn. It not only takes away the hassle of having to bage the clippings, but it also puts organic nitrogen (a valuable fertilizer) back into the soil.

The Community Recycling Program is an environmental project designed to "help us help nature." The curbside pickups are completed by a contracted private carrier to recycle tin cans, aluminum, plastic jugs and other bottles, glass bottles, newspapers and cardboard.

A private carrier under contract with the City of Brillion collects refuse. Collections are made every Wednesday, and there is no charge for residential collections.
