Posted on: March 5, 2020[ARCHIVED] 2020 Brush Pick-Up & Yard Waste Programs Resume April 6
Westmont, Illinois
Date Issued: March 5, 2020
Waste Management’s Yard Waste and Brush Pick-Up Programs resume on Monday, April 6, 2020. These weekly programs will continue through mid-December.
YARD WASTE PROGRAM
Yard waste, which is typically grass clippings and leaves, must be placed in kraft paper bags or a container that is 32 gallons or less clearly marked "YARD WASTE". Each yard waste container or kraft bag MUST have a yard waste sticker, which is green in color, placed on them. There is no limit to the number of containers or bags you can place out for pick-up on your regular service day, but each bag or container must have a yard waste sticker attached. Place yard waste next to your garbage cans on the same day as your regular garbage service day.
BRUSH PICK-UP PROGRAM
Waste Management also provides a weekly brush pick-up program that coincides with the Yard Waste Collection Program. Branches and tree limbs must be tied with natural twine into bundles no more than 4 feet long and 1 1/2 feet in diameter. Each bundle must weigh less than fifty (50) pounds. Trees, stumps, and branches larger than 2 inches in diameter cannot be collected as brush. Brush should be placed next to your other refuse on your usual pick-up day. No sticker is required for brush pick-up.
