The Village of Addison offers seasonal branch pickup service to residents from April
through October. Beginning in 2008, Branch pickup will begin on the first
Monday of each month, April through October, and finish by the end of the week,
regardless of where you reside within the Village.
Branches should be on the parkway the Sunday before the scheduled pickup week. The
service dates are listed below. Contracted crews will pass down each
street only one time, and only one collection will be made Village-wide per
month.

The Village's Branch Pick-up program is truly a service to Addison residents.
It encourages each resident and building owner to pride themselves in the
health, aesthetics and value of their home, building, surrounding yard and
landscape. It promotes the community*s desire to beautify our neighborhoods
while maintaining safe and healthy surroundings. Each month, April through
October, a resident or building owner has the opportunity to place branches out
curb-side in front of their property. The programs service level may range from
the pick-up of a single broken branch placed out on the parkway, to the pick-up
removal of a resident*s entire tree, cut up and stacked as specified under the
program's requirements.
Should you have further questions, please contact the Village of Addison Public
Works Department at (630)620-2020.
