Brush and Yard waste is scheduled for Village wide collection on the third Monday of the month from April thru October, with the exception of April’s 1st and 3rd Monday collection dates. Brush/Yard waste is to be placed curbside on designated dates by 7:00 a.m. The DPW may pickup brush and yard waste on other days as schedules allow, but the third Monday of the month is the scheduled date.
