Citywide Special Brush Collection Begins Aug. 17

Due to the severe weather that occurred in Naperville on Tuesday, Aug. 11, the City will conduct a special citywide brush collection beginning Aug. 17. 

Residents have two options for brush and yard waste collection beginning Aug. 17. Groot will collect properly bagged and bundled yard waste on your regular collection day during the weeks of Aug. 17 and 24; no sticker required for two weeks through Aug. 28. Stickers will be required again starting the week of Aug. 31. Public Works crews will make one citywide pass to collect larger, unbundled branches beginning Aug. 17.

For dates, guidelines, and preparation requirements for each collection option, visit the Yard Waste Collection webpage.
