Brush Removal Program-- 2010 Pick-up
dates listed below
Important: Piles of brush
larger than 3' high and 12' wide will not be picked up.
Oswego Township Road District offers brush and leaf pickup as a service to
residents in the unincorporated areas.
The Township Brush Removal Program is for the homeowner's convenience. We have a
brush chipper designed to mulch those limbs and braches that do not qualify as
yard waste. Our equipment is not designed to grind small twigs and evergreen
trimmings. Your garbage service will take yard waste and roots for a nominal
cost. If it fits into a bag, it is yard waste and will not be accepted by the
township.
Storm Damage- within three (3) days after a severe storm, the township will
start brush pickup to remove debris. A severe storm is defined as a storm
producing enough damage that the township road crews need to clear road and
right-of-ways of trees/branches for traffic. Should a tree come down during a
storm on private property, it is the responsibility of the homeowner for its
proper disposal.
This brush pickup program is for the sole use of the residents of Oswego
Township. and shall not be used by contractor and/or residents clearing lots for
homes, private roads, or entrances for more open space. Cutting down a tree is
not considered to be trimming or pruning and the township will not remove the
debris.
When: Have brush at the curbside by 7:00 am on Monday of the last full week of
the month April through September. Any brush left out at the curb after this
time will not be collected.
What is acceptable: Limbs over two feet long with no limbs over 5 inches in
diameter.
How: Laid as neatly as possible with the butt ends toward the street and
parallel to each others. Do not cut into short pieces or wrap anything around
the piles.
What is not acceptable: tied bundles, short clippings, root balls, bags of
branches, or bushes.
Please do not "hide" thorny tree braches inside piles. Place these branches next
to the larger piles and our crews will take special care with them.
