NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The City of Naperville's 2021 curbside bulk brush collection program begins the week of May 10. This program is an opportunity to dispose of large quantities of unbundled branches and tree trimmings at no cost.

The City is divided into five collection districts, which correspond with the weekly curbside garbage collection schedule. The collection cycle in each district takes one full week to complete. Residents can view the City's interactive brush collection map at www.naperville.il.us/brushcollection to track collection progress in their neighborhood. Here is the schedule for May and June 2021:
