Brush Collections
You will receive a bright
yellow door hanger on your front door the week before it's
your turn to place tree limbs, furniture, appliances or
other items out for collection. Collections are twice a
year, usually in January and July. There is usually a
10-day window for pick-ups. If you need an additional pick
up dial 311.
Extra Trash Pickups
Since Redland Springs has the 2 large garbage
cans we are allowed one or two free
pick ups each year of leaves or small bundles of brush
(tied and not over 40-50 pounds).
If you need any
additional pick up of this type of yard waste, each additional
trip will cost $20.00.
To obtain the pick
ups call "311". Remember to tell them that you are on
the Two Can System of trash/recycling. All extra pick ups will
be on Wednesday. Calls on Monday and Tuesday will usually be
picked up the following week.
