BRUSH
PICKUP:
Bloomingdale
Township Highway Department offers brush 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 branches
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.
 This
brush pickup program is for the sole use of the residents of
Bloomingdale 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.
GUIDELINES
FOR BRUSH PICKUP
There
will be three (3) pickups per year:
- May 5, 2008
- July 21, 2008

following information shall assist residents regarding brush pickup
procedures:
- ONLY
ONE (1) PILE PER EACH HOUSE. THE SIZE OF THE BRUSH PILE
MUST NOT EXCEED 20 FEET LONG, 10 FEET WIDE, AND 4 FEET
HIGH. BRANCHES OR LIMBS CANNOT EXCEED 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER. Any
brush pile larger than this limit and any limbs or branches
exceeding 10" will result in no pickup at all for
that address.

safety hazard. The piles must be stacked in an orderly fashion
and not tied in bundles. Brush left out in a tangled
mess will not be picked up.

down a tree is not considered to be trimming or pruning and the

be the responsibility of the homeowner to have removed.
