Brush Collection

The Village brush collection pickup occurs the first Monday of a full week during each month (May through October). Brush must be at the curb by 7 a.m. Each street will have brush collected one time during the scheduled week. 

Residents can now track brush pickup progress in real-time during collection weeks with our Brush Pickup Tracker.

2025 Brush Pickup Weeks:

  • May 5 - moving from west to center to east section of the Village
  • June 2 - moving from center to east to west section of the Village
  • July 7 - moving from east to west to center section of the Village
  • August 4 - moving from west to center to east section of the Village
  • September 1 - moving from center to east to west section of the Village
  • October 6 (last pick-up for the year) - moving from east to west to center section of the Village

Once brush collection is completed for your street, crews will not return until the following month. If you miss a pick-up, please remove brush from the parkway and store until the next pick-up. Alternatively, you can use yard waste bags and bundle brush for removal by LRS as part of the Yard Waste program. A yard waste sticker must be affixed to each bundle. Brush and branches must be securely bundled with bio-degradable twine or rope. Each bundle must be no more than four feet in length, two feet in diameter and weigh no more than fifty pounds. Individual branches must be no larger than three inches in diameter. Visit the LRS website for more information.

Those who leave brush in the street on non-collection weeks may be ticketed by code enforcement.

Brush Pickup Guidelines

  • LRS Yard Waste stickers are not needed for brush collection.
  • Brush must be stacked neatly on the parkway.  DO NOT place brush in the street or alleys.
  • Please be sure that brush is NOT piled in such a way that interferes with motorist or pedestrian visibility.
  • In narrow parkways the brush may be piled parallel to the curb so not extending into the sidewalk.
  • Leave space between piles and trees, street light poles, fire hydrants, etc.
  • Logs must be cut into small, manageable pieces and should be kept separate from brush.
  • The Village will not pick up yard waste, including grass clippings, ornamental grasses, flowers, plants, leaves, corn stalks, hay, wreaths, weeds, etc. Pumpkins, fruits and/or vegetables will not be accepted.
  • DO NOT place brush in cans. Brush placed in cans will be left behind for regular weekly garbage pickup.  Please see website for LRS guidelines.
  • If tree trimming/entire tree removal was done by a contractor, this makes the brush ineligible for our Village collection program.
