The Town of Owego Highway Department will be picking up branches again this year. Pick up will be Mondays and Tuesdays only starting Monday, May 18 through Thursday, May 28. Absolutely no brush will be picked up after June 1. You must call the Highway Department to request a brush pick up. The telephone number is 687-2641. If you do not call, your pile will be left.
They remind the residents of the Town of Owego of the following guidelines: tree branches from your yard only; place branches neatly along the curb/roadside in front of your home; no brush from lot clearing; no contractors or landscapers; all large piles must be approved due to time constraints for pick up.
The following items will not be accepted and will not be picked up: tree trunks; roots; clippings from lawns, flowerbeds or vegetable gardens; thorny brush, small twigs, and large diameter logs.
Your name and address will be added to the list. Because of the overwhelming response of this service, they cannot give you a specific time or day when your brush will be picked up.
