I want to provide information related to brush collection services by my city, but I do not know the best way to refer to "brush." So far, my best effort is "ramas de árboles." Anyone have a better suggestion?

I think you are looking for la broza or la maleza.

Hola y bienvenido,

Since you've indicated, you're advanced in Spanish, in your profile, I think you may be having more trouble with the English here. I think in this case, the word brush is a colloquialism, so, I think I would go with debris. Los desechos de las brozas y las malezas, sounds right to me, but, I'm not sure.
