City of Portland issued the following announcement on Aug 11.
The City implemented a new procedure for brush pickup in April.
The City is divided into two areas for pickup;
*Area #1 is east of the Grand River and south of Grand River Ave (the east side)
*Area #2 is the rest of the city.
Brush pickup for Area #1 is on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month and Area #2 is picked up on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month.
Brush needs to be neatly stacked with ends facing the same direction that are no longer than 8’ in length (brush piles) and no branches should be larger than 6’’ in diameter. Small branches and twigs shorter than 2’ should be bound together, placed in paper biodegradable bags, or containers that will be returned to your yard. Stumps and root balls will not be picked up. Please do not place brush behind or close to signs, fire hydrants, trees, etc.
This service is for RESIDENTS ONLY for maintenance of their yard; not lot clearing. This service is not for contractor use.
Brush may be placed curbside the Friday before pick up until 7:00 A.M. on pick up day. Brush should be placed in the curb lawn and not placed in the roadway pursuant to City Ordinance.
The D.P.W. will accept self-haul brush Monday through Friday 7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. These services are for City of Portland RESIDENTS ONLY.
