FAQs Brush & Bulk Collection
When will the new brush and bulk collection system begin?
The new system begins October 1, 2020.
Will I be able to set my brush and bulk out together?
While brush and bulk will be collected in the same week, it is important to keep these piles separate. They will be collected separately and brush is taken to a different location where it is turned into mulch. When the piles are mixed, everything is taken to the landfill. This takes up valuable space in the landfill and also adds to the City’s disposal costs.
How often can I set out brush and bulk?
You will be able to set out brush and bulk once per month. The goal is to be able to sweep through the neighborhoods once per month, thus alleviating piles of brush and bulk lingering for weeks. We appreciate everyone’s help in keeping Lynchburg clean. You may place your items on the curb no earlier than 7AM the Saturday before your designated pick up week and no later than 7AM on Monday of your designated pick up week.
