Curbside Bulk Brush Pick-up – June 1st!

The City is again generously making arrangements for its forestry crew to bring their chipper/shredder through Pinckney Neighborhood to collect bulk brush from your residential curbside. Pinckney is the only neighborhood in the City that makes this request and we are very grateful that the City does its best to accommodate us.

Here are the rules:
• Stack brush with the cut ends towards & close to the street where you put your trash.
• Pick-up starts very early Monday morning June 1st (put your brush our Sunday night).
• Crews will not come back to pick up materials that are placed out late.
• No lumber, fence posts. pallets or railroad ties.
• City crews are not allowed to go on to private property to get to or clean up any piles.
• It will take about two days to make it through the whole neighborhood – please be patient.

If you see the crew out and about picking up the brush, please be sure to thank them for this extra service. This is one of the many reasons we love Pinckney Neighborhood and the City!

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
