Fall Brush Pickup - Monday, October 12, 2026

Fall Brush Pick Up

Monday, October 12, 2026

Brush should be placed at the edge of the street prior to 7:00 a.m. on pickup day. Public Works will work throughout the week to pick up all neighborhoods, so please have it by the street and ready, Monday, October 12th.

We would like to clarify some requirements for the safety of our Public Works staff:

Public Works does NOT have a lift mechanism so all brush is picked up by hand
Please do NOT include brush or branches that have THORNS
Please do NOT stack the piles higher than 3 feet, that requires reaching and lifting from an unsafe height
Please limit length of limbs to 15 feet.
The entire brush pile should NOT exceed 3 feet high by 10 feet wide. Excessive amount of brush prevents Public Works from being able to service all residents.

Trunk diameter must NOT exceed 6 inches

Stack all brush neatly (parallel to each other) with trunks facing the street.

Branches should be cleared from limbs prior to stacking to prevent excessive tangling.

Due to limitations of the Village’s equipment, the following prohibited items are not collected:

Logs, root balls or dirt clumps
Bagged landscape waste
Brush in containers
Brush bundled with string or wire

MDC Unlimited Yard Waste Pickup

Every week in October, November, and the first Friday in December, and for two weeks in the spring, there will be free, unlimited pickup of leaves left out in brown kraft paper bags.

We appreciate your cooperation, allowing us to continue this service for our residents.
