2015 city brush pick-up dates announced

Van Wert city information

Van Wert Safety-Service Director Jay Fleming announces that a new city brush pick-up schedule will take place on the following dates: Monday, May 4; Monday, July 6; and Tuesday, September 1.

Brush will be picked up throughout the city on those dates and brush should be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. each of those three mornings. The city has changed from monthly brush pick-up to doing so on just the three dates listed above.

Fleming noted that the city would not:

• Pick up limbs larger than four inches in diameter or more than 10 feet long.
• Pick up brush that has been left behind by professional tree trimmers or private contractors. Homeowners who use a trimming service are responsible for disposing of the remainder.
• Pick up brush placed in bags or boxes.
