2026 Branch Pickup Guidelines
For residents in the unincorporated areas of Crete Township
Branch Pick Up Guidelines
Branch pick up is performed once per month for residents in the unincorporated areas of the Township — for minor pruning and maintenance only.
Guidelines
Place cut ends facing the street in several small piles rather than one large one.
Branches no larger than 6″ diameter, free of root balls, stumps, dirt, stone, metal, and construction material.
Call 672-7732 and leave your address — we will pick up on the first Monday of the month.
Call the weekend before your scheduled Monday pick-up day.
Not Accepted
Complete trees will not be picked up.
Not for contractors or residents clearing lots for new construction, landscape renewal, or tree removal.
If a landscaper or tree company does the cutting, disposal is their responsibility.
No logs, leaves, stumps, or yard waste — branches only.
Maximum of 10 minutes allowed at each location.
Burning of Branches
Burning of branches generated on your property is permitted in the unincorporated areas of the Township. To eliminate the possibility of false alarms, please notify your Fire District of your burn date.
Crete Township Fire Protection District: 708-672-7111
