Brush & Bulk Services
Garbage/Brush/Bulk Collections Guidelines
- Collections will occur twice a month, see map for your collection day.
- Place the pile within 3 feet of the curb no more than 7 days prior to your scheduled collection day. Your collection day is considered Day 7, and items must be at the curb no later than 7:00 AM on that day.
- Pile must be at least 6 feet from other objects-car, mailbox, utility meter, etc. and not be placed under any low wires or limbs.
- Brush piles must be free of all other trash, bulk items, bags or boxes as they are all handled separately. Trash and bulk items must be placed in a separate pile. Mixed piles will be collected and a fee assessed.
- We will pickup 6 cubic yards of brush per collection. Any amount over 6 cubic yards will be charged for. The charge will be added to your City of Temple Utility bill.
- Small amounts (a handful or two) can be disposed of in your garbage container.
