City of Sandpoint announces branch pickup dates

April 1, 2026

By Reader Staff

The City of Sandpoint has scheduled its annual branch pickup week for Monday, April 20 through Friday, April 24. All residents must have branches ready by 7 a.m. on April 20, as crews will only pass through each block once.

Homeowners should plan to trim tree overhangs to a minimum of 7 feet above sidewalks and 14 feet above streets. When they’re ready for pickup, residents must stack branches parallel to the curb on the edge of the street. Branches can be no more than 4 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length.

Trucks will not collect large branches, lawn clippings or other yard debris mixed into the stacks. Piles that do not meet these requirements or are not set out by the deadline may not be collected and may be subject to enforcement, including citation, under Sandpoint City Code.
