The Town of Durham Public Works Department continues the annual spring curbside brush pick up. Brush should be less than 4” in diameter and not longer than 6 feet in length. Brush should be stacked at roadside in an open area, away from mailboxes, trees, telephone poles and other structures. Brush should be stacked perpendicular to the roadway, butt end toward the road. No leaves, stumps, wood or foreign matter will be picked up. Each household will be strictly limited to one truck load during this collection.
In an effort to be more efficient, it is recommended that neighbors combine piles on property lines. Loads shall not measure any larger than 4’ high, 6’ wide and 8’ long, unless combined with a neighbor. If your load does not follow these guidelines it will not be removed. Because brush pick up can only be done in fair weather we recommend that residents get their piles ready for pick up and not wait until you see your area of town listed. This way the crew can continue when the good weather allows. Residents with questions may call the Public Works Office at 349-1816.
Because we have been experiencing good weather the crew has been able to move quickly through the town. The crew is presently working in the mid to southern end of town and continuing south.
