BRUSH COLLECTION SITE

The brush collection site is located at the Town gravel pit on Sherman Road off of Hwy 182 (near Mirror Lake Road). Town of Sherman residents may use the Brush Collection Site for the disposal of tree limbs and branches less than 3” in diameter, brush, leaves and grass yard waste (NO STUMPS ALLOWED).

From June 1 through October 31 each year the Brush Collection Site is available on Saturdays 9-3 and Wednesdays (Memorial Day to Labor Day only) 12-3. The Brush Collection site is a locked gate. A key is available from the Recycle Attendant during normal recycle center hours of operation only. The Recycle Attendant will:

* Have you fill out a Brush Collection Use Schedule requiring date, name, address and phone#.

* Inspect your truck/trailer to ensure disposed items are allowable.

* Provide a key to the locked gate (Please make sure the gate is locked whenever you exit the gravel pit).

* Provide a brief orientation to the Brush Collection Site as necessary.

When you have completed disposing your material, immediately return the key to the Recycle Attendant. Do not loan the key to anyone. The key must be returned to the Recycle Attendant prior to the end of the scheduled recycle hours for that day. The Town Supervisor overseeing the recycle center will inspect the Brush site periodically to ensure proper usage.

In the event of a significant storm that would require multiple residents to use the site, the Town will post a notice and make available an attendant to staff the Brush Collection Site. In these instances no appointment or permit is required.

Only raw forest products can be disposed of at the Brush Collection Site. No manmade materials of any kind.
