Tree permits in Belton. Belton's code does not set up a permit for a homeowner to remove or trim a tree on their own property; it only requires owners to keep trees along the street or sidewalk in front of their house trimmed back (branches at least 12 feet above the street). Utility companies are separately allowed to trim trees that interfere with their lines, under the city engineer's supervision. Source: library.municode.com
Brush and yard waste. Belton residents get weekly curbside yard-waste collection from the city's hauler, GFL Environmental, included in the standard $22.01/month residential trash fee. No separate city brush drop-off site is listed; yard waste simply goes out at the curb on the regular collection day. Source: belton.org
