Hanover Park Brush Pickup Program

The Brush Pickup Program provides free curbside pickup and chipping of branches, which are then reused as mulch. Last year, the program produced 1,765 cubic yards of mulch which was made available free to Village residents for use around shrubs and flower beds. Brush will be picked up in April and October. Please note that it may take more than one day to pick up all of the brush in a designated area. If your brush has not been picked up on the first day, please be patient.

Brush must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day to avoid missing your collection. Residents are asked to follow the collection schedule listed below.
