Free Brush Collection

The Village offers free brush collection throughout the growing season by zone. Free brush collection takes place in Zone A July 10 and Zone B July 17.

Place all brush at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday morning of the designated week for your zone. Please pile brush neatly so that the ends of the branches are all facing the same direction. Do not put brush in a container or in the street. Brush collection does not include contractor waste or large stumps.

Check out the Brush Collection Zone Map to identify your zone and review additional brush collection information.

Reminder: Sprinkling restrictions in place

As droughts continue across Illinois, the Village reminds residents to adhere to Oswego's outdoor water use restrictions.

Properties with even-numbered street numbers may use Village-distributed water for sprinkling or automatic water systems for plant or yard watering on even-numbered calendar dates between the hours of 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Properties with odd-numbered street numbers may water on odd-numbered calendar dates during the same timeframe.

You may use a hand-held watering device, such as a watering wand, at any time.

Learn more about watering regulations and get tips on conserving water at your home.
