Spring leaf pick-up will run from the first (1st) full week of April and will end at the end of the second full week of May each year. Authorized bags (not sold by the Village) shall be purchased and used for yard waste. Village DPW will periodically pick these bags up until December 15 (weather permitting) of each year.
 
Fall leaf pick-up  will run from the second (2nd) full week of September through the end of the third (3rd) full week of November.

Brush Pick Up is scheduled for the third Monday and Tuesday of each month from April through October. Brush may not be placed out sooner than the weekend (3 days) before a scheduled pick-up day. Brush placed out after the scheduled pick-up date and after Village crews have serviced your area may not be collected and will be the responsibility of the property owner to dispose of. Pick-up days may be added after a weather event. Branches must be stacked in piles weighing no more than fifty (50) pounds, branches must be no larger than 6" in diameter and no longer than four (4) feet. DO NOT mix brush and loose material, such as leaves, grass clippings, wires, ropes, etc. Mixed piles WILL NOT be collected. Piles shall be placed on the shoulder of the road near the property line and perpendicular to the road, with the butt ends toward the driven portion of the road. DO NOT stack brush in the road, on sidewalks, near mailboxes, or near storm drains. All brush should be placed neatly behind the front curb or edge of lawn on your own property and out of the paved portion of the street.
