Branch pickup program starts by zone Sept. 22

The free curbside tree branch pickup program through Hoffman Estates Public Works is underway. This program is for residents covered by the Village refuse collection contract. Only one collection pass will be made for each street. Please do not ask for exceptions.

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

Public Works crews WILL accept:

  • Tree branches no larger than 8 inches in diameter or 10 feet in length

  • Shrub trimmings and similar brush

  • Branches from willow trees if separated from other materials

Public Works crews will NOT accept:

  • Tree trunks, stumps or root balls

  • Firewood

  • Railroad ties or landscape timbers

  • Grass clippings, leaves, sod, plants or yard waste

On the first date of pickup listed for your area, neatly stack branches at curbside by no later than 7 a.m. Face the cut ends toward the street. Do not tie branches in bundles or place in any container. Do not allow branches to protrude into the street or block sidewalks.

While supplies last, free wood chips will be available to residents at the Village's vehicle maintenance facility, 2405 Pembroke Ave., during daylight hours after 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and during daylight hours on weekends. Please bring your own containers.
