Frequently Asked Questions

No. There is no call-in brush and limb pickup service provided by the City.

Limb crews work through each route (Routes A, B, and C) in the City approximately once every 3 to 6 weeks depending on the weather. The volume of limbs can affect the pickup schedule.

City of Hendersonville residents must follow these guidelines:

• The pile of brush must be left within four feet of the edge of the road. If near a sidewalk, please place piles on the house side of the sidewalk and not in the narrow strip of grass.
• The pile of brush must not be placed under trees and overhead wires so that our equipment can reach it without posing a danger to the operator. Also, piles must be kept away from mailboxes or other structures to avoid damage to the structure.
• The maximum diameter of limbs is six inches. Anything thicker than that will not be picked up.
• The pile of brush should be no larger than ten feet by ten feet. If larger please consider laying out one pile for now and other piles the next month.
• No vines or root balls.
• Small, firewood-sized cut-up stumps may be collected.
• Do not include in your pile any building materials, trash, plastic, metal, wire, card, cardboard, paper, or glass.
• No commercial tree-cutting will be collected by the City. If you have hired a commercial tree service, have them haul off the debris. Most likely, they are already billing you for it. The City of Hendersonville is not responsible for picking up anything cut by trimming or cleaning services.
• For leaf collection, simply put them in paper bags and leave them at the edge of the road/ curb.
• Loose leaves will not be picked up.
• Do not put place piles on the street or sidewalks. If an accident occurs as a result of this, the homeowner will be liable for the damages.
• There is no need to schedule a pickup. The city is divided into zones and one zone at a time is cleaned. The length of time between pick-ups varies depending on the amount of debris in the different zones and the weather.

The City has divided limb collection into 3 Routes or Zones according to geographic area:

• "A" Route - Walton Ferry Peninsula area
• "B" Route - Indian Lake Peninsula area
• "C" Route - North of Gallatin Road area

See the detailed Zone Map on the Limb and Brush Collection page to find your designated Zone area.

The City provides updates approximately every 24 to 48 hours. Each update reflects areas to be collected within 2 to 3 days.

The limb and brush collection service is provided for City of Hendersonville residents only.
