Brush and Yard Debris Pick-Up Week – January 12-16

The first brush and yard debris removal event of 2015 will be held during the week of January 12-16, during which time Bandon Disposal will be picking up piles of brush and yard debris, including Christmas trees. City residents are allowed up to a maximum of 5 cubic yards of brush and yard debris (approximately two pickup loads) at no cost. Simply place your brush and yard debris in the right-of-way alongside the street adjacent to your house PRIOR TO Monday, January 12, and Bandon Disposal will pick it up sometime during that week. If you get missed, contact Bandon Disposal at 541-347-9633 and let them know. Please make sure that your brush is in one pile, since there is a maximum of one pile per address, and no group piles. Keep in mind that this program is for woody yard debris such as branches, brush, gorse, etc., so other items and materials such as metals, appliances, furniture, etc. will not be accepted. Except for Christmas trees which do not have to be cut, branches must be cut into lengths no longer than 5 feet. Grass clippings and leaves will also be picked up, provided they are placed in biodegradable PAPER bags. NO PLASTIC bags can be accepted.  Also, please avoid placing your pile under overhead utility lines or overhanging trees, since a boom truck is used to pick up the debris. Locate your pile away from fire hydrants and utility boxes, and do not impede sidewalks or pedestrian walkways.
 
A total of three brush and yard debris removal events are held each year. They are normally scheduled for January (including Christmas tree pick-up), May, and October. The Parks & Recreation Commission is reviewing a request to move the May collection back to June. If you have more than 5 cubic yards of debris, or if you want debris picked up at times other than the three brush removal weeks, please contact Bandon Disposal at 541-347-9633 for a price quote.
