Geneva will be providing a special citywide brush collection to help residents remove fallen trees and branches stemming from strong storms that swept through the area July 14-15.

This free brush pickup is scheduled to run Monday to Friday, July 22 to 26 for residents living within the City’s municipal boundaries. Residents are asked to have their brush set at the curb for disposal by 7 a.m. July 22, and there will be no designated collection zones for this one-time operation.

Kramer Tree Specialists, the City’s contractor, encourages residents to stack tree branches with the cut ends facing in one direction toward the curb or edge of the pavement. Brush should not be placed in the street. All tree materials, regardless of size, will be collected during this special pickup, and waste stickers are not required.

Residents should not tie bundles of branches with rope or wire. No foreign materials, such as construction debris, fencing, lumber, wire, grass, flowers, and yard waste will be collected.

The City’s next regular brush pickup will occur in August. A schedule and program information can be found on the City’s website.
