Brush pickup is suspended each summer to allow the Service Department employees to concentrate on repairing our roads.  Specific dates will be established and inserted here.  Please check back for updates.

If you generate brush during this time period, cut it into short lengths (four feet long or less), bundle it with twine, and set it out with your garbage.  Rumpke will remove it if it is bundled and set on top of your trash cans.

To see what day of the week we pickup brush from your neighborhood, view this interactive map. Once the map opens, use the navigation controls to zoom in and out on the map and move the map up, down, left or right. These controls are in the upper-left corner of the map. They allow you to quickly center the map on your home.


You can make the village's  Road Crew employees' job much easier if you follow these procedures. Doing these things also creates less wear and tear on our chipping machines and dump trucks, and it saves lots of fuel:

 

  • The length of the limbs you set out for removal should be as long as possible. Cut them down only to the size required for you to move them. We would much rather have one 30 foot long limb to chip than ten 3-foot limbs.

  • Do not stack or pile limbs. Lay them at the curb with the thick end pointing toward the street, side by side.   Limbs may be up to, but not exceeding, 10 inches in diameter.

  • Vines and limbs with thorns should be cut into 4-foot lengths and bundled and tied with string (no wire).

  • Different types of materials are to be set out in separate areas (i.e., limbs in one area, vines, thorns, and logs in another).   Our crews do not have the time to untangle big piles of various types of material at each residence.   Please use your entire road frontage to set the brush out if necessary, and form a second row if required.

  • Materials such as rocks, bricks, pipes, wire, fencing material, lumber, etc., are to be disposed of with your regular trash according to Rumpke’s regulations.

  • Small sticks (smaller than a broom stick), twigs, leaves, and other small debris such as this may be bagged or placed in cans for Rumpke, following their yard waste removal regulations.   The Village brush crew will not pick up this type of material.

  • Contractors (professional tree contractors, landscapers, builders, etc.) are required to remove any tree limbs, trunks, logs, etc. from your property. They are NOT allowed to place this material at the curb.
