Brush collection restrictions
Brush is defined as tree and bush branches less than 5 inches in diameter. The brush collection program is not intended to handle branches, logs, or tree stumps resulting from large-scale tree trimming or removal. Crews will not pick up logs, wood, root balls, cuttings, or grass clippings. Crews will place an orange tag on your door indicating the reason they did not pick up the brush if it is the wrong material or placed at the curb too early.
How to place brush for collection
Place brush at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday morning of the designated week but no earlier than noon the Friday before. The Public Works trucks will pass through an area once and will not return for brush placed after the deadline. Place unbundled brush parallel or perpendicular to the street in neat bundles with all cut ends facing the same direction, as in the picture above. Do not put brush in a container or in the street.
The Village does not accept landscaping waste, tree branches, or tree removals resulting from contracted work. Crews will not remove brush from commercial, industrial or other non-residential properties.
