New equipment allows for more frequent brush pick up in Brockport

The Village of Brockport’s spring and brush pick-up season 2025 is gearing up to begin the week of Monday, April 25. Brush pick up will take place the last full week of every month from April to October.

Residents should recognize that this service frequency has increased, from bi-annually to seven times per year since the village’s acquisition of a 2023 grapple loader. The capacity of this equipment to pick up and transport brush allows for less staffing and swifter route completion through the village during pick-up weeks. This piece of equipment is also used for tree work, debris removal, water and sewer work, and miscellaneous street maintenance work.

Brush should be on the curb the Sunday night before brush pick up starts, as the truck will only pass through each neighborhood once. Limbs should be cut to 10 feet or less in length and brush piles should be near (not in) the road. For the grapple to pick up the brush, it must be clear of poles and signs. The entire schedule can be found on the Village’s website, Facebook page, and reminders can come straight to your phone by downloading the My Brockport Village app, clicking on notifications, and using the settings “gear” to choose “Closures and Maintenance” along with other topics relevant to your Brockport Village life.

Questions related to brush pick up can be directed to the Village of Brockport Department of Public Works at 585-637-1060.
