Resident generated brush should be placed out at the curb for Monday pick up. Branches should not exceed 6 feet in length. Brush pick up is done year round, weather permitting. Between the dates of November 1 to March 31, brush pickup is limited due to the trucks being configured for snow pick up. Contractor generated brush needs to be hauled to the Town of Pittsford Highway Garage on Golf Avenue.
