Piles of brush too large for the free pickup program will require a special collection. The Village provides residents with estimates on the cost of special collections prior to the brush being picked up. 

 

Regular monthly schedule

  • North of the train tracks begins on the FIRST Monday of the month at 7:00am
  • South of the train tracks begins on the THIRD Monday of the month at 7:00am

The entire brush collection process can take between four to five days to complete.

Only one pass is made by each home. If brush is placed at the curb after Public Works staff has gone by your property, you must return the brush to your property as it will not be picked up until the following month.

Branches and limbs must be placed by the curb before 7 a.m. on the designated day or in next month's case, September 6. 

No material may be placed curbside prior to the Saturday before the scheduled pick up.
