Brush piles/dead vegetation

There should be no piles of brush or dead vegetation on personal property.

Residents can take advantage of four free Green Yard Waste Drop-Off events to dispose of compostable yard waste (i.e. grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs and other plant debris) at these free events held four times per year. Collected green waste goes to a composting facility instead of the landfill.

Sec. 6-2012 - Maintenance of property

Diseased or dead woody vegetation. All trees, shrubs, bushes, hedges and other woody vegetation within the city shall be adequately pruned or removed when such trees, shrubs, bushes, hedges or other woody vegetation harbor insects or disease that constitute a threat to other trees, shrubs, bushes, hedges or other woody vegetation or constitute a hazard in general to the public health, safety and welfare. The stump of any tree removed due to disease must be completely removed from the ground unless, in the opinion of a certified arborist, the diseased stump poses no danger to surrounding vegetation. Stumps that do not pose a danger to surrounding vegetation may remain on the property at a height not to exceed twenty-four (24) inches.
