The Public Works Department has begun collecting brush from last week’s storm event and will continue collection through Wednesday, August 4. Residents may place fallen tree limbs and branches that are four inches or greater in diameter, regardless of length, in the parkway to be collected by Village crews. All smaller materials (less than four inches in diameter) should be disposed of in the regular yard waste program utilizing yard waste bags or brush tags. Do not place these materials in the street. If it is not practical to prepare materials for collection under the regular yard waste program, residents may contact a tree care company or waste disposal company to arrange for a special collection of the material. All contractors must be licensed and bonded with the Village of River Forest.
