City of Geneva issued the following announcement on March 20.
As yardwork moves higher on many people’s spring to-do lists, Geneva residents can take advantage of the City’s monthly brush collection scheduled to begin in April.
Brush pickup is intended for the disposal of tree limbs and branches that are removed by the property owner for normal maintenance and upkeep, not for lot clearing. Kramer Tree Specialists, the City’s vendor, will not collect material produced by a private contractor.
The brush program divides the City into two zones, and a map can be found on the City’s website. The zone boundary line includes:
• Western Avenue from Geneva’s City limit north to South Street;
• South Street east to Seventh Street;
• Seventh Street north to State Street;
• State Street west to Anderson Boulevard; and
• Anderson Boulevard north to City limit.
Brush collection will take place the weeks of:
Zone 1 (West Of Boundary Line)
Zone 2 (East Of Boundary Line)
| April 1 | April 8 |
| May 6 | May 13 |
| June 3 | June 10 |
| July 1 | July 8 |
| Aug. 5 | Aug. 12 |
| Sept. 2 | Sept. 9 |
| Oct. 7 | Oct. 14 |
| Nov. 4 | Nov. 11 |
Since collection days can vary, residents should place brush and limbs on the parkway by 7 a.m. Monday on their scheduled week. Crews will not return to a neighborhood until the next scheduled pickup.
Tree branches must be stacked with the cut ends facing in one direction toward the curb or edge of the pavement – not in the street. Branches and stumps cannot exceed 12 inches in diameter, and tree limbs should be less than 12 feet in length.
Residents should not tie bundles of branches with rope or wire. No foreign materials, such as construction debris, fencing, lumber, wire, grass, flowers, and garden waste will be collected.
