What is the Brush Pickup Policy in Hinckley?
Brush pickup will take place on the first & third Monday of the
month, starting at the beginning of April and finishing the first

collected the following Tuesday. Brush will be collected under
the following guidelines:

other binding material will wrap around the chipping machine and
damage it. Brush must NOT be placed in cans, barrels, or
boxes.

They should be removed and disposed of separately.
- Limbs & branches exceeding 6" in diameter will not be
collected.

lumber, wire, grass/grass clippings will NOT be collected.
