City of Blue Ash Curbside Brush Collection Rules:
  • Brush consists of limbs and twigs. Brush will not be collected if mixed with other materials (such as yard waste (leaves, grass, flowers, mulch, bush trimmings, ornamental grass, bamboo), wood fencing, nails, plastic, metal, lumber, etc). The machine used for this service is not designed to accept these materials. Possible damage to the machine could occur or bodily harm to City workers.
  • Brush must be placed near the edge of the street or curb (within the City's right of way). Do not place brush in the street or on the sidewalk. Do not place brush near a parked car or fire hydrant. 
  • Brush must not be larger than 12" in diameter. Stumps and root systems must be detached.
  • Please have several small piles rather than one large pile. This will greatly help with efficiency.
Rumpke Curbside Brush Collection Rumpke collects brush year round on your regularly scheduled waste collection day. Brush must be cut in 6 foot lengths and tied in bundles or placed in your Rumpke waste wheeler or personal garbage can. Rumpke will not collect loose piles of brush so please place small amounts of brush in the provided waste wheeler.
