Brush Clean Up Begins In Yorkville Following Storms

YORKVILLE, IL — The City of Yorkville said public works crews began the clean up process Tuesday morning following Monday's storms. According to the city, crews will mainly focus on removing dangerous parkway trees or limbs this week, including those found to be blocking the road or sidewalk. Once this task is completed, crews will return for the smaller brush piles, the city said.

The city added that normal brush pick up is scheduled to begin Monday, giving all residents time to get brush to their curb for collection.

To perform brush pick up efficiently, the city asks the following:

• Brush is no longer than 10 feet.
• No diameter greater than 8 inches.
• No whole trees or bushes. All brush is stacked parallel to the curb or edge of pavement.
• If it is not stacked parallel, we have to drive on the parkway with our large equipment.
• All brush should be stacked in a place that is accessible for a tractor to pick it up.
• Please do not stack brush under a tree, against a mailbox, hydrant, or streetlight.

The storm knocked out power for almost 5 customers in Oswego, 187 in Yorkville, and 11 in Montgomery as of Tuesday, ComEd's map shows.
