Brush Pick-up Coming Soon to Durham

Message from the Town of Durham:

Residents are still encouraged to bring storm related brush to the curb as soon as possible. There will be only one pass through town.  Residents are still encouraged to bring brush to the transfer station if able. Brush pick-up shall begin in the first week of December. 

Please be sure to take note of the very strict guidelines that need to be followed in order for your brush to be picked 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.  Loads shall not measure any larger than 4' high, 6' wide and 8' long.  If your load does not follow these guidelines it will not be removed.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue with the response and recovery from the October Nor'easter.
