Branch Pickup Schedule April through November
The Village's Branch Pick-up program is truly a service to residents. It encourages owners to pride themselves in the health, aesthetics and value of their home, building, surrounding yard and landscape. It promotes the community's desire to beautify our neighborhoods while maintaining safe and healthy surroundings.
Each month, April through November, residents may place branches at curb-side in front of their property. This may range from a single broken branch, to the pick-up removal of an entire tree, cut up and stacked as specified under the program's requirements.
To qualify for the Village's Branch Pickup Program, branches must be on the parkway the Sunday before the scheduled pickup week.
Contracted crews will pass down each street only one time, and only one collection will be made Village-wide per month. Branch pickup will begin on the first Monday of each month, April through November, and finish by the end of the week, regardless of where you reside within the Village.
The requirements for Branch Pickup are as follows:
- Branches must be placed curbside on the parkway, not in the street, stacked in one direction, with the thicker ends facing the street. DO NOT cross stack branches.
- Branches are limited to 8 feet in length and 8 inches in diameter.
- Limbs larger than 8 inches in diameter must be cut into 16-inch log lengths and placed separate from the branches.
- Branches should not be tied with string, wire, etc.
- Branch piles containing root balls, lumber, metal, glass, yard waste or other debris, as well as large branch mounds that have been multi-directionally cross stacked, will not be picked up.
- Branches should not be stacked in the alley or along private drives. These will not be picked up.
- No contractor cuttings will be picked up. Trees and branches cut by a privately contracted company, or individuals hired by the property owners do not qualify for the Branch Pickup Program, and must be properly disposed of by said private contractor, or other private service.
- Branch piles should not be placed on the parkway prior to or after the weekend prior to pick-up. All branches must be stored in the back yard until then.
Free Mulch
Public Works provides free mulch to residents. Residents can call to have mulch delivered by the yard. Type of mulch? Branches that are picked up through out the City are then turned into mulch.
