Notice: There will not be a community clean-up day in 2017. However, for your added convenience and to comply with DEP and to receive credit for recycling, the borough will have a roll off for yard waste located on East Willock Road opened from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Any yard waste may be brought to the yard and put into the roll off. No garbage or concrete will be accepted. Yard waste consists of grass clippings, leaf waste, tree branches( under 4 " diameter), or any type of vegetation. No contractors. On the third week of the month the Department of Public Works will collect yard waste and it must be in brown paper bags and branches bundle / tied up to 3 feet long, not more than 4 inches in diameter. This is required for our recycling program and possible future grants. Also, you can always set out larger items at the curb every week. So there is no need to collect and hold on to items until that day. Let’ s keep Brentwood clean year round.

Storm runoff is a hot topic because communities in the lower sections of the basins do get flooded in rain events. We are asked to slow down or store runoff if possible. A rain barrel or rain garden helps. A simple barrel connected to a downspout with a hose bib works great and water stored can be used for flower or vegetable gardens. A rain garden takes a bit more work but if you visit www. raingardennetwork. com the site will walk you through the process. Not only will you regenerate ground water you will also have a flower garden which does not need watering( once established). One of the criteria is to make sure it is about 10 feet from your house to keep the water from entering your basements walls.
Our sweeper will be out and about. After cleaning the roads we will be cleaning our storm inlets as required by our MS4 Permit.
