Residential brush collection service is intended to assist residents with regular yard cleanup and is not intended to clean up after commercial tree removals. Contractors removing residential trees must make plans for their own clean up after tree removal. Brush pick up will run the second and fourth full week of each month from April until October. 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. Due to weather events, pickup days may be changed. All brush put out for chipping must conform to the following guidelines. Please do NOT mix brush and loose material, such as leaves, grass clippings,  wires, ropes, etc. Mixed piles will not be collected. Branches must be no larger than eight (8") inches in diameter and no longer than eight (8') feet in length. Piles shall be placed on the shoulder of the road near the property line and perpendicular to the road, with the butt ends towards the driven portion of the road. DO NOT stack brush in the road, on sidewalks, near mailboxes, or near storm drains or gas lines. 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. If you have any questions, please contact our DPW Department at 231-937-4311, ext. 4.
