Brush Pick-Up Policy

The Department of Public Works (DPW) would like to remind residents of our current brush pick-up policy. We ask residents to please follow brush pick-up regulations as they keep our equipment running smoothly, and make our employees’ jobs more efficient and safe while continuing to make Imlay City a clean and great place to live.

  • Brush chipping will take place on the first and third Monday of each month starting in April through the end of November.
  • Brush can be placed at the curb at a maximum of 2 days prior to the scheduled chipping date and by 7:00 a.m. of the scheduled chipping day.
  • The DPW will not chip full trees that have been taken down.
  • Stack brush as close to the curb as possible, with the cut ends parallel with the curb.
  • Stack piles neatly so that branches do not become entangled.
  • Brush should be a minimum of 3 feet in length, a maximum of 10 feet in length and limbs should be no more than 4 inches thick in diameter.
  • Do not block the sidewalk or the street.
  • Do not stack brush with yard waste. Yard waste cannot be chipped. Please discard yard waste properly by bagging it in approved bags or containers marked “yard waste” for the garbage hauler to pick up.
  • Brush stacked for collection must be free of all nails, wires, debris, roots, vines, litter, and non-brush material.
  • The DPW will not access private property to gather brush.
  • Brush piles that are not neat and orderly will not be picked up.
  • Brush piles that are placed out too soon or too late will be required to be removed from the curbside until the next scheduled pickup date.
  • Once the chipper has been down a street, it will not return until the next regularly scheduled pick-up date.

Proud to be a Tree City USA Community

The Tree City USA program has been greening up cities and towns across America since 1976. It is a nationwide movement that provides the framework necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees.

Imlay City is one of 3,400 communities that has made the commitment to becoming a Tree City USA. The City has achieved Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: Maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.
