The collection cycle in each district takes one full week to complete, pending weather and unforeseen circumstances. Residents can view the City's interactive brush collection map at www.naperville.il.us/brushcollection to track collection progress in their neighborhood.

Brush collection crews will make only one pass through each neighborhood. Brush put out after the crews have passed will not be collected. Follow these guidelines to help brush collection crews efficiently and safely collect brush:

Bulk Brush Collection Specifications:

• Branches must measure between 3 and 8 feet long and be no greater than 6 inches in diameter.
• Stack branches neatly on the parkway in front of a home, with cut ends facing toward the street.
• Place branches with thorns in a separate pile.
• Brush piles must not be tied or bundled.
• Brush piles should not be badly tangled.
• Brush will only be collected from the front of each residence, not from the rear of homes or along busy roadways. Busy roadways are considered four-lane roads with speed limits over 30 mph.

Not Accepted During Bulk Brush Collection:

• If a brush pile contains anything other than branches, it will not be collected.
• Brush piles that contain nails, metal, stones, root balls, stumps, plant material or lumber will not be collected.
• Willow whips, vines and shorter branches must be bagged and placed out on a resident's regular garbage day. A yard waste sticker must be attached to each bag, container or bundle placed at the curb for collection.
• Tree trunks, roots, root balls and logs are not accepted in brush collection but may be disposed of with regular garbage. Please note there is a 32-gallon can and a 60-pound weight limit.

A tag will be attached to any brush pile that is not picked up, explaining why it was not collected. From now through Dec. 12, 2025, residents also may dispose of bagged or bundled brush each week through the City's Yard Waste Collection program. More information is available at www.naperville.il.us/yardwaste.
