    Loveland’s Brush Collection

    Loveland, Ohio – The 2022 spring brush pickup program will begin on Monday, March 21. Brush must be placed in the grass near the roadside no later than Sunday night, March 20.

    Note these Guidelines:

    The following are guidelines established for the brush pick-up program:

    • Brush must be placed at the curb or edge of roadway. Do not place brush in the roadway, gutter, ditches, or on sidewalks. Do not block fire hydrants.
    • Limbs cannot exceed 10 inches in diameter at the cut section.
    • Limbs should be placed at the curb with the cut section facing the street and all limbs should be facing the same direction. This makes it easier and faster to handle.
    • No leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, or other yard waste will be collected.
    • Small twigs and sticks should be bundled with twine in bundles 12 inches in diameter. Twigs or sticks can also be placed in a container at the curb, but no other yard waste should be in the containers. Please, no loose piles of sticks and debris.

    Additional Notes:

    • Any material not meeting these requirements cannot be collected and will be left at the curb.
    • Outside the regular pick-up schedule, residents are encouraged to come to City Hall to get a free voucher to drop off any yard waste to Evans Landscaping.
    • Wood chips will be available again this year. Anyone in the City who would like a full load of wood chips should call 513-707-6115.
