BRUSH PICK UP
Sylvania Township Road Department offers a semi-annual Brush Pickup for Township residents, in April and September. The next scheduled Brush pickup is Monday, September 8, 2008, BRUSH ONLY, no grass clipping, leaves or other solid waste. Do not place brush piles in the roadway or gutter area. This is considered unlawful and creates a liability to the property owner. If additional help is required, call a landscape / waste hauling company.
We also provide a “Free Drop Off” facility, Clean Wood Recycling, 6505 West Bancroft Street, between I-475 and McCord Road, for all Township residents, zip code information is required. Hours of operation change throughout the year.
LEAF PICKUP SCHEDULE UPDATE
The Township starts Leaf Pick Up in mid October and continues through mid December, performed on a patrol basis. One cycle through the Township requires 3 weeks, then crews start over again performing additional cycles. Depending on weather conditions, our goal is to perform at least three (3) pickup cycles. Leaves should be placed at the curb side or along the edge of the street and free of brush and garden waste. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE LEAVES IN THE STREET OR IN PLASTIC BAGS!
Inclement weather and temporary equipment failure creates difficulty to predict the location of crews at any specific time.
