Brush Pick Up Rules & Regulations

Rena Anderson

Bruch pick up is in full force for the year. Please be aware of the Village of Tolono guidelines regarding brush pickup:

  • Brush pick up days are the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month (weather permitting) March-November. We will not make special pick ups unless there is a storm causing additional yard wasted. Please plan accordingly for regular pick up days.
  • Grass is NOT acceptable (not even in landscape waste bags).
  • Landscape bags must have a sticker obtained from Village Hall or it will not be picked up.
  • Brush pick up is not for the cleanup or removal of entire trees.
  • Limbs must be less than 6″ in diameter and 8′ long.
  • Dirt and rocks are NOT acceptable (not even in landscape waste bags).
  • Landscape timbers, railroad ties, wood fencing and other lumber is NOT acceptable

The above guidelines are set by ordinance (2020-O-10). For more information, please see 53.30-53.99 of the Village of Tolono Code of Ordinances or call us at 217-485-5212.

Brush Pickup

Rena Anderson

Brush pickup resumes Monday, March 1, 2021. Please see the attached notice for acceptable and non-acceptable items. Paper bags of landscape waste must have stickers purchased from Village Hall. Stickers are $3 each.

Village Maintenance crew requests that landscape waste be put as close to the road as possible. The ground is very soft currently and they would like to avoid putting ruts in yards. If waste is too far off the side of the road, they may not be able to pick up.

Ameren & Unsafe Trees in the Right of Way

Rena Anderson

If you have a tree or trees in the right of way that interfere with Ameren power lines or may be unsafe, please call the Village office at 217-485-5212. Our maintenance staff is currently creating a list of possible trees that Ameren will evaluate and possibly take down if close enough to their lines. If your tree does not interfere with power lines, but does pose a threat, our crew will come take a look at the trees, determine the severity and take down as time allows.

Brush Pickups are now twice a month

admin

It’s springtime and that means a lot of folks will be cleaning up their neighborhood.  To assist with those efforts, we will increase brush pickup times to twice a month.  Pickup days are the first and third Monday.  If the second pickup day of the month falls on meter reading day, the brush will be picked up the following day.

Please remember that brush can only be picked up from the curbside. For safety reasons, we can not pick up brush in alleys.
