Brush must be placed in the grass near the roadside no later than Sunday night, November 6

LOVELAND, OHIO – Two times each year, the City of Loveland Public Works Department picks up brush for residents. You do not need to call to schedule your brush pick-up since the crew drives a route throughout the entire City limits.

In the fall, the City of Loveland offers both a leaf pick-up program and a brush pick up program.

Brush piles that do not comply with the instructions and are not picked up.

Residents may go to City Hall to receive a free voucher to drop-off a load of yard waste to Evans. The City of Loveland has an agreement with Evans Landscaping for a year-round residential yard waste drop-off program.

The 2022 fall brush pickup program will begin on Monday, November 7. Brush must be placed in the grass near the roadside no later than Sunday night, November 6. Public Works will collect brush through November 18.

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.
• Please remove basketball hoops from sidewalks, cul-de-sacs, the end of your driveway, etc. In many neighborhoods, basketball hoops make it difficult for our leaf/brush crews to navigate the route and make turns. 
• 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, bamboo, ornamental grass, 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. No loose piles of sticks and debris, please.

Please Note

• 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.
