Public works crews across McHenry County have been hard at work clearing trees felled in this week’s storms from roadways and public areas, but they also may help residents haul away debris that came down on private property.

While Crystal Lake and Huntley officials are asking residents to call in and request pickups of yard waste left by the storm because their municipalities were not hit as hard as others farther north in the county, some other local governments are doing communitywide sweeps to get storm damage cleared.

Here is when each local government the Northwest Herald could get in touch with Wednesday is planning on pickups:

Algonquin

Village residents are asked to follow normal procedures for brush pickup and purchase stickers from the Village Hall or local retailers, so the trash hauler Groot can pick up yard waste on its normal routes.

Cary

Starting Monday, public works staff will pick up post-storm brush placed out at the curb, the village said in a Facebook post.

Brush should be at the curb by 7 a.m., cut ends toward the street, according to the post. Only one pass will be made.

Branches must be at least 4 feet and between 2 to 8 inches in diameter. No thorns or root balls. The total volume of brush cannot be more than 8 feet long by 4 feet high.

For material smaller than this, Flood Brothers offers unlimited weekly curbside pickup on an address’s assigned garbage day, according to the post. For larger, contact the village to pay a fee for a special collection.

Crystal Lake

Crystal Lake residents are asked to have yard waste at the side of the road by Sunday and to call the city’s Public Works Department at 815-356-3614 to request pickup, Public Works Director Mike Magnuson said.

The brush will be collected early next week.

The heaviest damage to trees is mostly contained to the eastern parts of the city, in particular east of McHenry Avenue, Magnuson said.

“Looking at where the storm hit last night, I think we fared a little bit better than some of the other communities,” he said.

Harvard

The city of Harvard will pick up brush next week, starting Monday, according to a Facebook post. Brush should be placed in the terrace, parallel to the curb and in separate piles.

Huntley

Like Crystal Lake residents, Huntley residents are also asked to call the village’s Public Works Department at 847-515-5222 to request brush pickup for debris left by the storm, Huntley Assistant Public Works Director Jason Irvin said. They should have debris placed by the roadway by 4 p.m. Monday.

Lake in the Hills

Lake in the Hills residents should place any yard waste they want removed by the curb by Sunday evening. Village crews will perform a one-time, villagewide curbside brush pickup of private tree debris beginning early Monday morning, the village said on Twitter.

The collection will begin on the east side of the village and will head west through the week, the village said on its website. The collection is expected to take several days.

Crews will use two chippers to conduct one pass through Lake in the Hills for the pickup of private trees and brush.

“Remember that small twigs and leaves are considered yard waste and should be bagged or bundled in less than 50-pound bundles and 48 inches in length and under, and placed out at the curb for pickup during regularly scheduled garbage days,” the village said. “Large logs and stumps should be cut into pieces that are not too large or too heavy for crews to carry.”

McHenry

The city of McHenry will complete a city-wide brush pickup on Monday, it advised in a Nixle alert Thursday.

Residents must have all their brush out to the parkway or roadside no later than 7 a.m. Monday, according to the alert. Crews will visit each street once and continue until they have gone through the entire City.

This pickup will be for tree material only for residential properties; yard waste can be picked up through the yard waste collection program provided by Prairieland Disposal.

Branches should be as long as possible and no more than 5 inches in diameter, according to the alert. No stumps, roots, or root balls will be taken. Residents should place brush on the parkway parallel to the street but not in the street or on driveways.

McHenry Township

Residents of unincorporated McHenry Township can have brush picked up by the McHenry Township Road District starting Monday morning. Road district crews will make one trip through unincorporated areas, Highway Commissioner Jim Condon said.

Woodstock

Woodstock residents can have all brush up to 12 inches in diameter picked up for free if they have it curbside no later than 7 a.m. Monday, the city said in a Facebook post.
