Shorewood Brush Pickup Happens Through November

SHOREWOOD, WI — There will be no more curbside brush pickups in Shorewood until August starts. Plenty more stops can be expected until November depending on what part of the village you are in.

The Shorewood Department of Natural Works reminded residents in a Facebook post about the necessary brush pickup details in the Village of Shorewood. The DPW picks up branches that are 1/2 inch to 6 inches in diameter, up to 7 feet long. Branches should be neatly stacked for pickup.

The department splits the village into three sections. Each section gets a curbside pickup once a month from April to November.

For those living west of Oakland Avenue and north of Capitol Drive: Brush pickup is every 1st Thursday. The next one is Aug. 5.

For those living east of Oakland Avenue and north of Capitol Drive: Brush pickup is every 2nd Thursday. The next one is Aug. 12.

For those living south of Capitol Drive and north of Edgewood Avenue: Brush pickup is every 3rd Thursday. The next one is Aug. 19.

Brush pickups will continue through November depending on weather, the DPW said in its Facebook post. The material collected is turned into wood chips that are used to landscape parks around the village.
