Millbrook brush pick-up service to begin April 1

MILLBROOK — For the next two months beginning on April 1, the town will pick up brush placed streetside throughout the village, a free service for village residents. The service will continue until May 31. However, there are strict rules and prohibitions to follow.

Only brush is being picked up. The definition does not include leaves — leaf pickup begins on Oct. 1 — tree trunks, grass clippings or soil. Fines may be levied against property owners who attempt to discard these non-brush materials.

Definition of brush specifies that branches be less than 4 inches in diameter and shorter than 8 feet in length.

The brush pickup program is guided by additional specific instructions. For more information, go to www.villageofmillbrookny.com or phone the Public Works Department at 845-677-3022 before placing anything curbside.
