Village Brush Pick Up/Chipping Service Scheduled for Monday, May 6
The Village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, May 6.
One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the Village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system. Brush or storm debris in the tree lawn area may be picked up by the Village, and residents may place additional brush for chipping in that area. Hired tree trimmers must clean up their own debris; the Village will not pick up brush left by commercial cutters.
