Small Town Pride

Welcome to Onsted!

Onsted was organized in 1883 by William Onsted, named after his father, John, who was the first person to purchase land here. 
Onsted became a town as a result of the Michigan & Ohio Railroad coming through here and was incorporated as a village in 1907.

*All materials will be chipped. Please ensure that there are no foreign objects (i.e., metal, building materials, rocks, etc.) included as these could cause damage to the equipment or injury to those operating the equipment.


• Stack brush neatly between curb and sidewalk with the cut ends facing in one direction. 

• Branches should be no larger than 4" in diameter and 6 feet long.

• Stumps or logs must be cut by home owner weighing no more than 100 pounds.

• Keep brush piles away from obstacles such as fire hydrants and utility poles and maintain a safe line of sight distance for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. 

• Village crews are not responsible for the removal of brush produced by non-village con-tractors. The collection of brush resulting from a tree removal requires the use of a tree removal service or landscape service.

• Do not tie or bundle branches. Do not bag branches or debris for pickup.

• Yard waste such as plant material such as leaves, grass clippings, small twigs, pruning’s, shrub clippings, pumpkins, branches, brush, flowers, roots and other material commonly thrown away in the course of maintaining yards and gardens from village residences will NOT be picked up.

• Debris that does not meet the villages criteria for free storm damage pickup will be left uncollected and the homeowner shall be notified in writing. If the home owner does not remove/dispose of uncollected debris within 5 days of written notice from the village, the DPW or a sub-contractor for the village will remove it a charge in accordance’s with the village fee schedule.
