Deerfield Township, OH — July 1, 2010 - Brush removal is a free service we provide to Deerfield Township residents. Brush will be picked up Monday through Friday during the last full week of every month. Please note that brush must be placed at the curb on Monday of that week. Due to the volume of brush, crews may not be able to go back to your street if you place it at the curb after they go through.      

Brush pick-up is designed to handle typical residential type yard trimmings. It is not designed to pick up excessive amounts of tree trimmings left by tree services performing residential trimming or clearing. All limbs, vines, and brush smaller than one (1) inch in diameter, must be tied with string in bundles not to exceed one (1) foot in diameter. Anything with thorns must also be in bundles. You may leave limbs, as long as you can drag them to the curb.  

The reason for this is to allow passage and handling of smaller brush through chipper opening. Do not tie the bundles with wire or electric cord as this will damage chipper and blades. Due to the large amount of area, one (1) truck and one (1) crew covers within the week, and to help with the speed and easy handling of brush, all limbs should be neatly stacked at the curb with all cut ends facing the same direction. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.     

To allow chipper blades to grab limbs without side branches getting caught, large limbs should have side branches removed four (4) feet back from the cut end of limbs so the branches can reach the blades.

Sorry, NO: stumps or roots can be put through chipper limbs over six (6) inches in diameter; old firewood or fence posts.     Please check to see that there are no nails or metal of any kind mixed in with brush. (This will cause damage to chipper).
   

We are sorry, but your brush will NOT be picked up for the following reasons:   not tied in bundles; tied with wire or electric cord; bundles or limbs too large for chipper; stumps or roots; firewood or fence post; sticker bushes not bundled; cut ends not facing the same direction. Thank you for your cooperation. For questions contact Deerfield Township at 513.583.4793.
