Green Waste Collection

Brush and branches.

Green waste that is up to 24 inches in diameter. Larger stumps are not accepted.

  • Green waste must be cut to no longer than 5 feet in length to fit into our compactor. 
  • Please bundle if possible. It is important to keep loose debris off the street and out of the gutters.
  • Note: Trees in the park strip are City trees. It is unlawful to alter, remove, or prune City-owned trees for disposal through Call 2 Haul or any time of the year. Instead, please contact Salt Lake City Urban Forestry at (801) 972-7818 to submit a request for SLC’s professional arborists to service your park strip trees.
tree limbs

Brush and bushes cut to no longer than 5 feet in length, piled 4 feet high are accepted.

  • When possible, bushes and brush should be cut and placed in the brown compost carts. We’ll discuss your unique needs when you call to schedule your collection.
  • If needed, you can request 1-2 additional brown compost carts for a large volume of miscellaneous green waste items, such as hedge trimmings, leaves, or bushes.
  • Otherwise, schedule your green waste only pickup for brush, bushes, or tree limbs.
