Brush is defined as tree and bush branches that are less than 5” in diameter.  Branches, logs or tree stumps produced as part of a large-scale tree trimming or removal program, or produced by a contractor, will not be picked up. We cannot pick up logs, wood, root balls, cuttings, leaves, or grass clippings as these materials will clog our machines.  Place unbundled brush parallel or perpendicular to the street in neat stacks with all cut ends facing the same direction.  Do not pile brush higher than 4 feet and do not put brush in a container or in the street.  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 prior to the deadline.

Place all brush at the curb by 7:00 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.

The Village does not accept landscaping waste, tree branches or tree removals removed by contractors.  Crews will not remove brush from commercial, industrial or other non-residential properties.
