  Everlett. The Montgomery Public Works Department will provide residents with bulk brush
• 0:22
  collection the week of October 5. Crews will begin Monday and make
• 0:27
  only one pass through each neighborhood, a news release from the village
• 0:31
  said. Crews will continue until they have covered each area once, and
• 0:35
  it is estimated to take one week, the village said. Residents are
• 0:39
  advised to stack all brush neatly in the parkway by Sunday, as
• 0:43
  the first pass-through begins promptly at 7 a.m. This service is provided
• 0:47
  to residential properties only. The bulk Brush program excludes commercial, industrial, and
• 0:52
  non-residential properties, as well as unincorporated areas like Boulder Hill, the village
• 0:57
  said. Bulk brush pickup guidelines Brush must be on the property from
• 1:02
  which it originates. Brush piled in
• 1:04
  the right-of-way behind your address or brush not originating from your address
• 1:09
  will not be collected. You may move the brush in the parkway
• 1:13
  up to one week before the scheduled pickup date. Stack brush neatly
• 1:18
  in the parkway by Sunday evening before the scheduled pickup week. Brush
• 1:22
  blocked by parked cars or put out late after the single pass
• 1:26
  through the area will not
• 1:27
  be picked up. If it is not visible or accessible during the
• 1:30
  pass-through, the homeowner is responsible for disposing of it. Pile brush neatly
• 1:36
  in one direction, unbundled, not tied, with the more significant trunk portions
• 1:40
  or cut ends facing the street. Brush piles must not be taller
• 1:44
  than 3 feet and must not obstruct the sidewalk, driveways, or pedestrian
• 1:49
  pathways. Twigs, leaves, and smaller yard debris should be placed in a
• 1:54
  stickered yard waste bag for removal by the village's regular garbage hauling
• 1:58
  provider. The intent of the bulk brush program is not for limbs,
• 2:02
  logs, or tree stumps resulting from large-scale tree trimming or removal. Branches
• 2:08
  must be at least 1 inch in diameter, no larger than 4
• 2:11
  inches in diameter, and not shorter than 3 feet. Public works crews
• 2:16
  are instructed to avoid picking up piles that include bushes with roots
• 2:19
  and dirt attached, grape or other vines, lumber, plywood or construction materials,
• 2:24
  including, but not limited to metal objects, concrete, stone, etc, the village
• 2:30
  said. The village's waste hauler, LRS Recycling, offers weekly brush pickup with
• 2:36
  sticker and collection on four regular trash day, with rules and guidelines
• 2:40

• 2:44
  by LRS Recycling, bundles of brush or branches must be tied with
• 2:48
  twine, should be at most 2 feet wide by 2 feet high,
• 2:52
  and can be at most four feet in length or 50 pounds
• 2:55
  in weight, but each bundle must have a red LRS yard waste
• 2:58
  sticker visible. Questions about the Villages program should be directed to the
