 Branches, Brush, and Christmas Trees
The Village provides a curbside brush chipping
service beginning on the first Monday of every month.
If the first Monday falls on a
holiday, the service will begin the following day. However, this
service is not offered for construction sites, nor is it intended
for the disposal of entire trees. This service is offered for tree
and yard maintenance only, so disposal of entire trees should be
arranged through a tree service contractor. Have
your brush and branches (up to 12” diameter), including Christmas
trees, stacked cut-side-out at the curb by 7am on that Monday
morning, and the Village will chip them up and haul them away.
Be sure your branches and trees are free of
any metal, wire, rope, tinsel, plastic, stones or other debris that
could damage the chipper. Your
amount of brush and branches is limited to one pile per property no
larger than 4 feet high x 8 feet long. Flocked trees and stumps weighing
less than 50 lbs will be picked up as large items
on regularly scheduled large item
pickup days. (See Large Item Pickup)

replacement can be purchased for $7.25 at the Village Clerk's
office. You do not need to separate your recyclables, except for
newspapers and inserts. Place cans, glass, and plastic loose in the
bin and place bundled or bagged newspapers on top of the bin or
beside it.
