Branch Pick Up Schedule 2023

Public Works crews pick up tree limbs year round during the first and third full week of each month for residents who phone to request service. 

The following is a list of helpful tips to keep in mind when preparing for pick up:

  • Pick ups must be called in before 7 am on the Monday of pick up week, please call 847-930-6050 ext. 4. *No exceptions will be made for late requests.*
  • Please be patient. The list can take several days to complete during the height of summer landscaping. 
  • All pick ups are limited to residential homes only and the branches must be generated on the property. 
  • Branches should be the result of maintenance trimming only. Crews will not pick up piles larger than 8'x8' in area.
  • Crews will not remove branches from the removal of whole trees. Residents should contact a tree removal service for this type of work. 
  • Crews will not remove branches from private property. Please ensure that all branches are placed on the parkway.
  • When placing branches for pick up, set them in the parkway before 7:00 a.m. the Monday of pick up week. If branch piles are not at the curb when the crew arrives at your address, they will move on to the next stop. You may call the branch pick-up line and request to be placed on the next list, should you forget to place your branches out before Monday morning. 
  • Be sure no foreign objects are in the brush piles such as wire, rope etc. Piles will foreign objects contained in them will not be processed.
  • Place the branches so the cut ends face the street.
  • Limbs should be a minimum of 3' in length and no larger than 10" in diameter. Branches from pine trees, roots and root balls, stumps, vines, shrubs and/or building materials are not acceptable and will not be processed.
