Collection of bundled brush and yard waste is underway through November. Bundled brush and yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, shrubs, vines and storm debris are picked up along with garbage and recycling on regular refuse collection days from the same collection point. Each brush bundle should be no larger than two feet in diameter and four feet in length and have a green yard waste sticker attached. Yard waste should be in 32-gallon paper bags or rigid containers, each with a green yard waste sticker attached. Stickers are available for $2.60 each at Oak Park grocery and hardware stores and the Cashier’s Office at Village Hall, 123 Madison St. Residents are urged to look for alternatives to bagging yard waste such as mulching mowers, leaf shredders or composting (www.oak-park.us/compost). For more information, call 708.358.5700 or email publicworks@oak-park.us.
Where to Buy Yard Waste Stickers
Owners responsible for storm debris on private property
When severe weather creates debris from trees on private property, owners are reminded not to bring limbs or brush to the curb, but make other arrangements for its disposal. Public Works crews pick up debris only from parkway trees — a big job with nearly 19,000 trees on public property throughout the Village. However, brush from private property will be treated as yard waste if it is tied into bundles, each tagged with a green yard waste sticker and placed in the regular refuse pick-up area. Each bundle should be no larger than two feet in diameter, four feet in length and not exceed 50 pounds. Yard waste is collected from early April through November from buildings with five or fewer units. The Village’s contract refuse hauler also will come to a home and estimate the cost for removing larger, unbundled quantities of yard waste — call 888.656.5350 to request an estimate. Refuse collection is funded by user fees billed quarterly with the water bill. For more information on yard waste, recycling and refuse hauling, call 708.358.5700 or email publicworks@oak-park.us.
