Fall Branch Pickup
The Village of Jerome is scheduling an additional limb pickup tentatively for 10/25 – 10/29. Backup dates would be the following week if necessary. The Village of Southern View will be assisting us for the first couple of days. Residents should reference the ordinance below for specifics on how the branch pickup will work.
400.3-14.2 The corporate authorities of the Village shall vote on an annual basis whether to provide
for the curbside pickup of branches, tree limbs, and tree or shrubbery trimmings. If, by
majority vote, the corporate authorities vote in favor of providing curbside pickup of
branches in a given year, then they shall set the number of times per year and in what
month(s) curbside pickup will occur. The Public Works Supervisor shall, subject to
staffing, schedule the date(s) within the selected month(s) and the time(s) of the day
when the curbside pickup will occur. Notice of the date(s) of said curbside pickups shall
be published on the Village website. If curbside pickup is approved, the following rules
shall apply:
a. Anything cut by anyone other than the property owner or tenant will not be
picked up by the Village.
b. At each address, the Village will pick up a single pile no larger than six feet
wide by eight feet long by four feet tall, which shall be considered a “standard
pile”. Any pile larger than a standard pile shall be considered an “oversized
pile” and a fee of $75.00 shall be assessed against the property owner and/or
occupant.

c. A fee of $25.00 shall be assessed against the property owner and/or occupant
where, in the discretion of the Department of Public Works, any branches,
limbs, or trimmings are so large that they must be cut in order to reduce
branches, limbs, or trimmings to a size that can be picked up. This fee shall be
in addition to any fee for an oversized pile or multiple loads.
d. Where an oversized pile will result in the Village being required to haul more
than one load to pick up the pile present at an address, a fee of $25.00 per
additional load shall be assessed against the property owner and/or occupant
for each additional load. This fee shall be in addition to any fee for an
oversized pile or cutting.
e. The fees for oversized piles, cutting, and multiple loads shall be paid before
the Village will pick up any pile at an address.
f. All large branches and limbs must be parallel or running one direction.
g. Items for pickup must be at the curb at or before 7:00 a.m. on the first
scheduled day of curbside pickup.
h. Items for pickup must NOT be placed at the curb earlier than one (1) week in
advance of the first scheduled day of curbside pickup.
