The City of Darien is pleased to be able to offer FREE BRUSH PICKUP for all residents within city boundaries.  To help keep the streets clean and our crews on schedule, please stack the brush neatly by the curb on the Sunday before the pickup week.  The chipper can accept brush up to 6" in diameter.  Please do not tie the brush or put it in garbage cans.  All other yard waste such as grass clippings and flowers should be disposed of through our yard waste program with Veolia Environmental Services.

All brush needs to be out by no later than the Sunday night prior to the designated pick up week. The chipping crew will make only one pass and may complete your street as soon as Monday morning.

Residents who are unable to put their brush out prior to the scheduled week can take it to the Municipal Services Facility, located at 1041 S. Frontage Road, and place at the designated location, labeled as "Brush". Brush will be accepted Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. No landscape companies are allowed to dump at the facility.

If you have any questions regarding brush pick up, please contact Municipal Services at 630-353-8105.

The City of Darien has recently received competitive quotes for the treatment of the Emerald Ash Borer located on private property. The recommended vendor is Tree and Turf Professionals. The treatment method consists of a licensed applicator injecting the tree with the product Treeage.  For additional information regarding the treatment and general information please visit the following website: www.arborjet.com
           
The tree would be drilled with a small hole(s) and larger trees will require multiple holes based on the diameter of the tree. The Treeage product is injected based on the tree diameter and sealed with a plug(s).  The application is good for up to two years. The Ash tree must have a minimal 60% healthy canopy to be a candidate for the treatment. The Tree and Turf Professionals shall review each Ash tree prior to treatment. All payments shall be the responsibility of the homeowner. The contact person for Tree and Turf Professionals is Lyle McGinn at 630-759-7389 or email at lmcginn@treeandturf.com
 
The measurement for a tree is determined by the diameter. If you would like to determine the measurement of your tree take an inch tape measure and measure approximately 4-foot up from the base of the tree and around the tree. This will be your circumference. You can then go to their website
 
Insert the unit number in the Circumference box and move the pointer to the Solve Others box and hit Enter. The calculator will provide the Diameter. Below is the pricing schedule for the treatment.
