CURBSIDE BRUSH PICKUP-UPDATED 4/8/26

As a courtesy to residents after a difficult and stormy winter, the Town of Provincetown will be providing free curbside brush pickup during the week of April 21-24, 2026.

What You Need to Know:
• Brush must be no bigger than 4 inches in diameter and no longer than 5 feet long.

Public Works will perform one pickup per property, and it will be done on the same day as your regular trash and recycling pickup. However, with Monday April 20th being the Patriots Day holiday, the Monday and Tuesday routes will also be collected on Tuesday April 21st.

Pickups will be performed by a separate crew using pickup and dump trucks to collect brush.

Please do not mix anything else in with your brush. No trash, recycling or bulky trash items.

During the week of April 21st thru April 25th, residents may also bring their residential brush to the Transfer Station, free of charge. The regular $10 per load fee will be waived for the week of April 21st thru April 25th only. Yard waste (leaves and grass) is always accepted at the Transfer Station at no cost.
