Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dispose of tree limbs or brush?

The city offers a call-in brush pickup service that runs from April 1 through the third week of October each year.

On the second Saturday of each month brush and limbs up to 4-inches in diameter can be dropped off by residents at 4935 Groh Lane between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.

Brush and limbs can also be tied into bundles not more than two-feet by four-feet and set out for Rumpke to pickup on your regular trash collection day.

For larger limbs residents can sign up in person at the Public Works Facility for use of a city dump truck. Please visit the Operation Dump Truck page for more information.

The city contracts with a trash hauler. Currently Rumpke provides this service for Fairfield residents.

The city conducts a leaf collection program for residents each fall between the first part of November through the last part of December. Leaves only should be placed in rows or piles behind the curb adjacent to the street but not in the street. If leaves are placed in the streets then runoff with floating leaves can enter or block local storm drains possibly causing flooding or polluting streams and/or the aquifer. Specific information on scheduling dates for your area can be found on cable TV Channel 18.

Residents who choose not to participate in this program may put their leaves in biodegradable bags for pickup by Rumpke on your regular trash collection day.
