Brush Pickup for Arnold Wards 1, 2 to Begin on Monday

Arnold residents in Ward 1 and Ward 2 requiring pick up of tree branches and dead wood should place those items on their curbs on Monday morning.

Public Works Director Bryson Baker reminded people of the shrub pick up schedule during the City Council meeting on Thursday night.

Residents should place unwanted wood items on the curb early Monday morning for everyone’s convenience, Baker said.

The department will to pick up discarded shrubbery for two weeks in Ward 1 and Ward 2.  

Public works employees will begin to shrub pick up in Ward 3 and Ward 4 on April 11, Baker said.

Residents will benefit from the new schedule because they have two weeks to collect and dispose of shrubbery, Baker said.

The new scheduled should cause no pressure on public works employees because they have about one week to pick up the items from neighborhoods, Baker said.

In the past, wards received one week for shrub pick up.

City Administrator Matt Unrein said he would post the event on the city’s Facebook page and send a message on the city’s Twitter account.
