Hoffman Estates' branch pickup program to start Sept. 21

Hoffman Estates' free curbside branch pickup fall program will begin the week of Monday, Sept. 21.

The program is for residents covered by the village's refuse collection contract.

Routes and dates have been established for various sections of the community, and only one collection pass will be made for each street.

If branches are too large, are mixed with unacceptable materials or have not been prepared properly, they will not be picked up.
