Due to the water still covering the brush yard road there will be no brush pickup today and the brush yard will not be open. We will continue to monitor the water level and keep updates posted. Pickup will resume as soon as the water goes down.

We have had to temporarily postpone brush pick up due to the road at the brush yard being flooded by the rains last night. We will resume pickup as soon as the water recedes. We will update if this will affect brush yard hours this week.
