  • Place logs and slash in separate piles
  • Stack materials along the road within the Town right-of-way (typically the first 15 feet from the pavement). Do not place materials on the pavement. 

Please remember:

  • Pickup is completed using heavy equipment. Some minor debris may remain
  • If prohibited materials are included, the Town may leave the entire pile uncollected
