The City of Kentwood will again offer its brush and leaf drop-off service for residents starting Saturday, April 6.
Residents may drop off brush, sticks, tree limbs, logs, loose leaves and grass clippings at the Kentwood Department of Public Works, 5068 Breton Ave. SE, noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Materials that cannot be accepted include trash, paper and plastic bags, dirt, concrete, asphalt, tires, rocks, stones, construction materials, glass and metal.
This drop-off service will be offered through Friday, May 24 for Kentwood residents only, and proof of residency is required.
“As we transition between the seasons, we understand yard cleanup can be a significant task,” Public Works Director Chad Griffin said. “We’re proud to provide residents with an easy and convenient way to dispose of brush and leaves, which can clog our roads and storm drains if left unkept. Our brush and leaf drop-off services play a crucial role in maintaining the reliability of our community’s infrastructure.”
In addition to making yard cleanup easier, the brush and leaf drop-off service also helps residents stay in compliance with City ordinances. The accumulation of leaves and debris on a property or in the right-of-way is prohibited in the city of Kentwood, as well as the burning of leaves and brush.
More information about the City of Kentwood’s brush and leaf drop-off services is available at kentwood.us/BrushLeafDropOff.
