The final brush pickup of the year will begin the week of September 25, 2023.
During scheduled brush collections, the Street Department will make only one pass through the city to pick up brush. Please have your brush by the front curb, but not in the street, by 7:00 a.m. in the morning on the first day. Brush will not be picked up in alleys. The piles of brush should be trash-free. Crews cannot access the piles if blocked by vehicles.
The brush trailer program now runs throughout the year, weather permitting. The trailer can be reserved for the removal of large amounts of brush. If a homeowner is trimming their own bushes or trees, they can schedule a trailer to be dropped off to put their brush in. This program is for the homeowner only and is not to be used by private landscaping or tree-trimming professionals. This program is free of charge as long as only brush is placed in the trailer.
The monthly brush pickup for August has been DELAYED a week due to construction on N. Indiana Avenue and will instead begin the week of September 5, 2023, after the Labor Day Holiday.

Shae Dirks, an AmeriCorps member working with the Department of Environmental Resilience and an event organizer, said she hopes the event will help promote biking and an interest in local history.
“Through brainstorming with my team, we came up with the idea of doing a history tour through Goshen,” Dirks said. “I tried to find those stories of women that we might not know. I wanted to find women who might have been just “average” but truly changed Goshen’s History.”

This free service is offered only during the first full week in May (an eight-day week with two Saturdays), and there is no limit to the quantity of items that may be disposed.
Residents must make arrangements to transport the items; there will not be curbside pickup. Because this free service is paid by the tax dollars of Goshen city residents, only City residents are allowed to dispose of items. IDs will be checked to verify residency.

Sunday, April 30: CLOSED
Monday––Friday, May 1 to May 5 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, May 6 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
In order to keep disallowed items from entering the waste stream, the Street Department will have a crew member on hand at all times monitoring the items being accepted. Items that can be disposed of are:
Non-hazardous refuse, such as furniture, carpeting, lumber, dry wall, metal and vinyl siding, windows, fiberglass insulation, mattresses, stoves, landscape timbers, bricks, etc.
White goods, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers, dehumidifiers, etc.; the Freon does not have to be removed
Electronic waste, such as computers, home phones, televisions, etc.
