Brush Pick-up
Brush Pick-up is for residential customers only.
The City of Athens will not pick up brush from commercial
properties, rental properties or contractors that have been
hired to trim trees.
Brush is now automatically picked up on a biweekly
route schedule. Under the new schedule, streets north of
Highway 30 will be collected on the 1st and 3rd full
weeks of the month. Streets south of Highway 30
will be collected the 2nd and 4th full weeks of the
month (see map). Brush
needs to be free of debris and placed 3-5 ft from the edge
of the road by 7:00 AM on Monday of the scheduled week.
This service is free of charge up to a brush
trailer size load. If the brush is a brush trailer size or
more, it will be a $30.00 charge per load. A brush trailer
load is measured as
27 cubic yards or 20 ft x 8ft x 4 1/2 ft.
