Curbside branch pickup begins in Hoffman Estates

Hoffman Estates' free curbside spring tree branch pickup program is underway, with collection in Zone A during the week of April 20.

Public works crews will accept tree branches no larger than 8 inches in diameter or 10 feet in length; shrub trimmings and similar brush; and branches from willow trees if separated from other materials.

Crews will not accept tree trunks, stumps or root balls; firewood; railroad ties or landscape timbers; or grass clippings, leaves, sod, plants or yard waste.

On the first date of pickup for their area, residents should neatly stack branches at curbside by 7 a.m. Face the cut ends toward the street and do not tie branches in bundles or place in any container.
