Brush
and Leaf Pick-Up
Brush
Pick-Up 2010
To
assist residents and encourage good property maintenance,
the Village of Montgomery offers brush removal service
to residents each year from spring to early fall. The
service is intended to help residents of the Village in
disposing of small amounts of branches, hedge trimmings
and yard wastes which are too large to fit in the yard
waste bags accepted by their regular garbage hauling service.
The monthly service will be provided during the first full
week of each month from April through October. This corresponds
to the weeks of April 5, May 3, June 7, July 5*, August
2, September 6*, and October 4, 2010.
(* Indicates pickup begins on Tuesday due to the Monday holiday.)
To
help ensure that we continue to efficiently and effectively
provide this service to Montgomery residents, the following
rules have been established:
•
Brush must be stacked neatly in the parkway by 7 A.M. the Monday
of pick-up week.
• Brush pile size cannot be more than 5’ x 5’
x 10’, in one directional bundles with the larger trunk
portions facing the street.
• Branches must be 4 inches or smaller in diameter and
not more than 5 feet long. We cannot accept bushes with roots
and dirt attached, and no grape or other vines.
• Containers of twigs, leaves and smaller yard debris
should be placed in yard waste bags for removal by the Village’s
regular garbage hauling service, Allied Waste. As part of your monthly
garbage service, Allied Waste will pick up one 30 gallon yard waste bag
each week at no extra cost to you. Please take advantage of
this service.
• The Brush Removal Program is not intended to handle
large branches, logs, or tree stumps from large-scale pruning
or tree removal projects. Public Works crews will not remove
trees cut down through contracted work or brush from non-residential
properties.
• This service is provided to residential properties only.
Public Works crews will not remove brush from commercial, industrial,
or other non-residential properties.
Brush
must be placed on the parkway in front of the property from
which it originates (Village of Montgomery Code, Sec.9-45),
so do not place brush in the street or onto other lots. Brush
may be placed in the parkway for removal up to one week before
the scheduled pick-up dates.
Village
staff will make every effort to remove brush on the first Monday
of each month throughout the entire Village. Manpower constraints,
equipment repairs, and emergencies may, however, limit our ability
to accomplish this goal. During these times, brush removal will
continue throughout the week until complete.
If
you have any questions in regard to the Brush Pick-Up program,
or any other Public Works services, please call the Montgomery
Public Works Department at 630-896-9241.
Leaf
Pick-up
During
the months of October and November, Village Public Works crews
provide leaf pick-up services to Village residents. Residents
who wish to have their leaves collected must have them raked
neatly behind the curb/edge of roadway in front of their homes
by 7 a.m. on the Monday of each week. Crews will make one pass
through the village each week, unless excessive leaf quantities
require additional routes. The service is generally provided
during October and November, but the starting and final dates
will be determined by weather conditions and landfill closing
dates. Please call the Village Hall at 630-896-8080 or Public
Works at 630-896-9241 for exact dates.
- Please
remember that leaf burning is prohibited by Village ordinance
(Village of Montgomery Code, Section 12-27). It is also important
to remember that leaves must be placed on the parkway in front
of the property from which they originate (Village of Montgomery
Code, Section 9-45), so please do not rake leaves into the
street or onto other lots.
