The Goshen Street Department will continue their spring yard waste collections next week. Crews will begin brush pick-up Monday, April 25.

Residents must take care that piles are placed in the proper location prior to the first day of the pick up, at 7:00 in the morning; the Department will proceed as quickly as possible and will make a single trip down each street.

Remember, the City of Goshen is not responsible for disposal of large tree limbs and debris from a home owners or contractors taking down a tree on their property. This is beyond the scope of normal yard waste.

Brush piles should be placed at the curb, not in the street. No brush will be picked up in city alleys, and piles are to be trash-free and placed away from utility poles, fire hydrants or trees. If vehicles are parked in front of brush piles the street crew cannot pick up the pile.

Brush should not be put out for collection until the Saturday or Sunday just prior to start of the scheduled collection week. Example: Place brush no earlier than April 23 or 24 for collection beginning the 25th of April.

Any resident with questions may contact the Goshen Street Department at streets@goshencity.com or 534-9711, Monday–Friday between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
