Brush Pick-Up Service will begin on Monday, May 11, weather permitting. Brush must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on May 11 to assure pickup. No return trips will be made. City crews will start on the west end of the City (Rolling Meadows) and work east.
Residents within the City limits wishing to use this service must follow these instructions: place the brush, cut ends toward the street, between the cub and gutter and sidewalk or approximately 3 feet off of the edge of teh roadway. Brush piles that do not have cut ends toward teh street will be left for the property owner to dispose of at his/her own expense: branches, limbs, or trees greater than 4 inches in diameter will not be picked up and residents are reminded that the service is offered strictly for yard maintenance purposes. Any abuse of the service such as tree topping, entire hedge removal, etc. resulting in large piles of brush, branches, roots and the like will not be permissible.
