2. Brush Pick Up in Middlefield The Middlefield Highway Department will conduct its annual brush pickup for all residents of Middlefield and Rockfall during the week of APRIL 15, 2013 through APRIL 30, 2013.  Please have all brush at curbside by April 15, to insure pickup. Please note that this will be a one time pickup only.  

Residents should pile clean brush at the curb, butt end toward the street.  No branches should exceed 8 feet in length or 3” in diameter.  Leaves, stumps garbage, or building materials will not be accepted. This service is for residents doing normal spring clean up and yard maintenance, not lot clearing. Because the Public Works Department is providing this service to residents throughout town, we must limit each household to one truckload of brush removed.  Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.   Town of Middlefield
