Curbside brush collection begins in May

Oswego Hometown Expo

The Village offers free brush collection from May to early October. There are two zones for these collections, Zone A, starting May 2 and Zone B, starting May 9. Please view the Brush Zone Collection Map?to identify your area.

Public Works will collect tree and brush branches less than 5 inches in diameter. Place your brush by the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday of your designated week, but no earlier than the Friday before.

The following items are NOT accepted since they clog the machinery:

• Landscaping waste, including grass
• Logs
• Wood
• Root balls

Get all the details on brush collection.

Note: Special collections are held following major storms that cause downed limbs.
