Tree permits in Peculiar. Peculiar does not require a homeowner permit to prune or remove a tree on their own property; the city occupational-license requirement only applies to businesses doing tree work for hire. The parkway strip between the sidewalk and street is legally a 'private tree' area (the homeowner's responsibility), while a public tree in a city park or on city property cannot be removed without written city approval.

Brush and yard waste. Peculiar's hauler, GFL, picks up yard waste only once a month (the second Friday), not weekly - grass, leaves, small shrubs and limbs, bagged or bundled (bundles capped at 50 lbs, 25 bags/bundles max per pickup). No separate city brush drop-off site is listed. Source: cityofpeculiar.com
