Stick Pickup Info Edit page

Please read and follow these guidelines:

• 2026 Dates for stick pick-up: March 9, June 8 and September 14
• Jeff Branch of Bobby Branch & Sons has been selected to help us with this program. 
• Sticks may be piled at the street no earlier than about one week prior to the pick-up date.
• Sticks should be at the street no later than 7:00 am on the pick-up date.
• The contractor will collect only once from each street on the pick-up date.
   

Note: If you hire someone to do landscaping or tree work, they are required to haul away the
debris.

What our contractor will pick up:
• Fallen tree limbs, but nothing more than 6 inches in diameter or longer than 6 feet. If
limbs are longer than 6 feet, break them up so they will fit better on the truck.
• Sticks and a very small amount of bush clippings

What will not be picked up:
• Cut-down bushes, trees, or tree limbs
• Household trash or construction debris
• Leaves, pinecones, pine needles, or lawn clippings
• Bags containing any type of debris

Options to have other types of debris hauled away (at your own expense) are as follows:

• Take yard waste to the Lee County Resource Management Facility at 331 Landfill Road
in Lemon Springs (919-499-2312). They charge a small amount per pound. They also
offer free mulch for pick-up.

• Ask one of these contractors about their private pick-up service:

• Take building material to Waste Management of the Carolinas at 2720 Wilkins Dr.
Sanford. 919-776-7800, the charge is by weight of load.

! Dumping ANY debris on a lot of someone else or on common property is a violation of North
Shore covenants, as well as NC General Statute 14-399, which could result in fines or other
sanctions.
