Semi-Annual Brush Collection - No Need to Bundle
The Village of Bartlett with contractor Trees "R" Us provides semi-annual brush pickup in the spring and fall that does NOT require bundling.
Place all non-bundled brush in the parkway by 7 a.m. on the Monday morning of your area's assigned week. The pickup for your specific block may not occur until later in the week depending on how many households in each area are using this service. However, once the truck goes down a street they will NOT go back around a second time. Please DO NOT put brush piles under trees, next to fixtures, mailboxes or power poles, etc.
Because Trees "R" Us crews use a grappler, it is better if the branches are piled in a large pile and not spread along the parkway. Nothing should be cut shorter than 4 feet or the grappler can't grab it easily. The contractor is also able to take branches that have a larger diameter, as long as it is not a very large log or tree stump.
Dates for the Fall 2025 Semi-Annual Brush Collection:
Week of 10/6: homes west of Main Street/S. Bartlett and south of the Metra railroad tracks
Week of 10/13: ALL homes east of Main Street/S. Bartlett plus ALL homes north of the Metra tracks
