City Ordinance concerning Brush Pickup Policy/Rules
(This is to re-emphasize the City Ordinance which was approved last year on January 10, 2023.)
The City of Lewisburg will collect and dispose of yard waste for individuals. Yard waste is defined as brush, trees, bushes, etc. Brush cannot be mixed with other materials, such as household trash, furniture, or construction materials. All leaves, twigs, small branches, pinecones, grass clippings, etc. are required to be bagged. This will not be picked up if thrown in piles.
The City of Lewisburg will pick up pieces of furniture, but NOT multiple pieces. A mattress, a couch, etc., but not multiple items.
The City of Lewisburg will not collect demolition debris such as rocks, dirt, tree stumps, wall board or plaster, roofing material, bricks, building scraps, glass/mirrors. Contractors will be responsible for the disposal of their own yard waste.
Refrigerant items such as refrigerators, air conditioners or anything charged with Freon or other gases, etc. will not be picked up. Debris from remodeling is the responsibility of the home owner or contractor and not the city. If a tenant(s) moves out of a property and leaves a house full of furniture, it is the landlord’s responsibility to dispose of the furniture. The city will not pick up.
When there are piles of debris at a residence, the city will not pick up. The codes department will inform the resident to clean this up and a time frame will be given to do so. If not cleaned up by this date, a court date will be set. If the City of Lewisburg eventually picks up the debris, a lien will be placed on the property.
If there are questions concerning what can or cannot be picked up, call 931-359-6383.
