Brush Collection

Requests for Fall 2011 brush collection service will be accepted from September 26 to October 7, 2011. Requests for collection will not be accepted after 4:30 pm on October 7. However, collection will continue until brush is collected from all residents who have called in requests. Brush will not be collected from homes not on the list.

Residents should call 412-784-1784, ext. 203 to request collection and be prepared to leave their name, address and telephone number. Requests are for one pick-up only. If additional material is placed at the curb after collection, another request for collection must be made.
