The city of Southfield will offer a special brush collection for residents on their regular trash collection day January 12 – 16 to dispose of branches and brush resulting from the severe weather over the holiday season. Southfield residents can take advantage of this collection by placing brush at the curb using the standard collection guidelines:
(1) Limbs cannot exceed 10 feet in length and 8 inches in diameter at cross section.
(2) Limbs should be placed with the cut section facing the curb. All limbs should face the same direction.
(3) Small twigs and sticks should be placed in compost bags (not more than 60 lbs.) or can be bundled. The bundles cannot be more than four feet long and not more than 60 lbs.
(4) No loose piles of sticks, leaves or other debris will be collected.
