Put brush out for weekly pickup

Recent storms brought down trees and fences in parts of Fort Worth. Get rid of brush by placing it on the curb on your weekly garbage and recycling pickup day.

Here's how:

Weekly Brush Pickup

Place leaves, twigs, grass, shrubs and small branches in paper yard bags or in your authorized yard cart. There is no limit on the number of paper yard bags you can set out.

Secure yard waste with string or twine in bundles that don't exceed 4 feet long and 40 pounds. As with paper yard bags, there is no limit on the number of yard waste bundles set out for pickup.

Stack branches (maximum 8 feet long and 4 inches or less in diameter) in piles that are no larger than 10 cubic yards or less (about 8 feet long, 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall) - about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle car. If the pile is more than 10 cubic yards, you will be charged extra.

If the pile is over 10 CY there may be a delay of up to 3 days for collection.

Remember, no root balls, stumps, wooden fencing, plastic bags or garbage goes into a weekly yard waste pile. Place piles at least 2 feet from carts or other objects.

Monthly Bulk Pickup

Another way to get rid of large amounts of brush is to place it at the curb for monthly bulk pickup. To learn your monthly bulk pickup schedule, call 817-392-EASY (3279).

Place brush neatly in tight stacks for machine loading. Bulk items are to be set out in a separate pile from brush. Set items on the front curb of your residence; crews may miss your pile if it's placed elsewhere. Crews will not pick up items placed in alleys.

Place bulky items on the curb by 7 a.m. Monday of your assigned week. You may place items on the curb as early as 6 p.m. the Friday before your assigned week. Crews have until the following Saturday to pick up bulky items. After crews have collected bulk on your street, do not place more bulky items on the curb until the next month on your designated week.

You may include root balls and stumps with a maximum 18-inch diameter. Do not set out anything in plastic bags for bulk pickup.

To learn more, call 817-392-EASY (3279).

To report graffiti email: graffiti@fortworthgov.org Non-Emergency FWPD- To file a police report: (817)335-4222

Graffiti and tagging bandits strike again. The concrete spillway embankments in Arcadia Trails Park - North, once again has become the canvas for juvenile spray painting and offensive markings and language. Graffiti not only is unattractive, it lowers property values and encourages other crimes. That's why letting graffiti stand on your property is illegal in the City of Fort Worth. If you notice this activity, please contact the Fort Worth Police and the Graffiti Abatement Office at the above number.

Zip Code Change Update

We have received the letter from the Post Office that our new zip code is 76244. There was also an article in the May 28th Star Telegram. The new zip code goes into effect on July 1, 2009. Our mail will continue to be distributed by the existing Keller Post Office that supports us today. One item missing from the letter and the newspaper article is that we have the option to use Keller or Fort Worth as the city. Donnie Lawrence of the Keller Post Office says that our mail will be delivered based on the zip code not the city. So we have the option to use Keller or Fort Worth, even though we live in Fort Worth.

Arcadia Trail Park North No. 7

Please note the new Dawn till Dusk posted operating hours in effect for Arcadia Trail Park North No. 7. Police patrols monitor park activity after dusk.
