The city is seeking vendors who can assist with storm-related brush collection. Vendors will be paid by the ton and the city will waive the $33 per ton disposal fee at the city's yard-waste processing facilities. Vendors must reply by Oct. 21, 2022.

Vendors who are interested should contact Stevie Dulin, the city sanitation director, at [email protected] or by calling 336-747-7308.

City brush crews have been working six days a week but the extra volume of brush due to the storm is putting brush collection further behind schedule.
