2025 Schedule

The Road District offers a courtesy brush pickup for senior residents and residents who are physically unable to bring the brush to the township during brush drop off weekends. Brush pick up is a service reserved specifically for residents who live on Algonquin Township maintained roads only.  We have limited brush pick ups to the first 25 households who submit a request on line or by calling our office each month. The Highway Department reserves the right to modify the schedule, and move pickup or drop off dates, when necessary. All brush requests must be made by noon on the Friday before the pick up.
