Brush Pickup Program

The Brush Pickup Program provides FREE curbside pickup and chipping of branches, which are then reused as mulch.  Last year, the program produced 2,314 cubic yards of mulch which was made available free to Village residents for use around shrubs and flower beds.  Brush will be picked up April, July, and October.
