Lisle residents can place storm-damaged branches at the curb for a one-time special collection beginning August 17, following specific size and weight guidelines set by the village
Residents in Lisle, Illinois, will have an opportunity to dispose of tree branches and debris left behind by recent severe storms, as the village has scheduled a special branch collection starting August 17. The initiative is intended to help homeowners clear their properties after Tuesday's storms brought down limbs and created piles of yard waste across the community.
According to the Village of Lisle, collection crews will make a single pass through each neighborhood. To ensure their branches are picked up, residents must have all materials placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday, August 17. The village emphasized that crews will not return for missed piles, making timely preparation essential for those seeking removal.
Branch Preparation Rules
To qualify for pickup, branches must be prepared according to village guidelines. Each branch should be no longer than five feet and no thicker than eight inches in diameter. Piles should not exceed three feet in width, three feet in height, and five feet in length, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds per pile. All branches must be stacked with cut ends facing the street and placed as close to the curb as possible to facilitate efficient collection.
What Residents Need to Know
The special collection is a one-time event, and only branches meeting the specified requirements will be removed. Residents are encouraged to review the full list of guidelines on the Village of Lisle's website to avoid missed pickups. The village's regular yard waste program remains in effect for other types of yard debris not covered by this special collection.
Lisle's public works department organizes these special pickups following significant weather events to help residents recover more quickly and maintain neighborhood safety. The program is part of the village's broader effort to support the community after storms and minimize hazards from fallen branches and debris.
Special branch collections are typically scheduled after major storms or when widespread tree damage occurs. The village notifies residents through official updates and provides detailed instructions to ensure the process runs smoothly.
