The city said crews will also be coming into Temple neighborhoods to collect brush, debris and bulk, which you can find out when they will come to your neighborhood here. They just ask you:
- Separate brush piles from bulk piles
- When you are stacking your brush and bulk on your curb, keep away from mailboxes, cars, gas lines and utility lines, (including under powerlines and trees). "Otherwise it will not be picked up to avoid property damage," the city said.
- If there are brush materials further than 10 feet from the curb, wait for the first collection, and then push up any additional brush to the curb within 10 feet. It will be collected on the next pass-through.
"We ask for your patience as delays may occur during this time," the City of Temple said.
