Elgin Township, Illinois

Tree Limb Pick-up

Schedule and Guidelines

2013 Schedule:

Weeks of: April 8th, May 13th, September 9th and October 14th

Tree Limb Pick-up is for residents living on township maintained roads in unincorporated Elgin Township only

In order to remove tree limbs in a cost effective, timely and orderly fashion the Elgin Township Highway Department institutes the following guidelines:

All limbs must be curbside by 7:00am by these dates.
- There will be no double coverage; once we go through your area we will not be back until the next scheduled pick-up.
Maximum size of limbs to be discarded is 8" in diameter and can be 12' to 15' in length.
Limbs knocked down by major storms will be picked up on an as needed basis during the week following the storm.
This is not a tree removal program. If you are removing entire trees larger than 8" diameter, you will have to hire someone to dispose of them.
Wood chips are available to homeowners residing on township maintained streets. We will deliver.

Snow Removal Guidelines

Do not park cars on the road or road right-of-way in the winter months

When depositing snow at the end of your driveway, pile it to the left side of the drive. This ensures that the plow will not push the snow back into the driveway

Plowing snow from your driveway and leaving it on the roadway is a violation of Illinois State Statute.

Township employees take great pride in their snow removal routes, your cooperation will help them do their job more efficiently
