The City of Paris offers a Residential Brush Collection Program to help residents dispose of brush generated through routine yard maintenance. This service is available to eligible residential properties within the city limits.
To keep the program running efficiently and fairly for everyone, residents must follow all collection guidelines regarding eligibility, acceptable materials, size limits, and placement requirements.
| What We Will Collect | What We Will NOT Collect |
|---|---|
| ✓ Tree limbs ✓ Branches ✓ Shrubbery ✓ Natural vegetation generated through routine residential yard maintenance | ✗ Contractor-generated debris ✗ Landscaping or tree service debris ✗ Stumps or root balls ✗ Large tree trunks ✗ Treated, painted, or manufactured wood ✗ Pallets or lumber ✗ Construction or demolition debris ✗ Household trash ✗ Dirt, rocks, mulch, or grass clippings |
If prohibited materials are mixed into a brush pile, the entire pile may be left uncollected.
You Do Not Need to Call
Residents do not need to call, submit a request, or schedule a brush pickup.
Simply place your brush according to the guidelines below, and our crew will pick it up as they make their way through the city.
Because the crew is continuously working throughout Paris, it currently takes approximately two weeks to make a complete rotation through the city.
If your brush is not picked up immediately, please be patient. The crew may be working in another part of the city before reaching your neighborhood.
What Happens During Storms?
Our normal brush collection schedule is subject to weather, storms, emergencies, and other unforeseen circumstances.
When a significant storm or other event occurs, our brush crews may need to adjust their normal collection routes to respond to storm debris and other priorities.
If these circumstances cause significant changes to our normal collection process, we will do our best to notify residents.
