Naked Trees Mean Concern For Clear Roads

Yard waste and loose leaf collections will be in full swing next month. The Village reminds residents to review and follow the yard waste and loose leaf collection guidelines below. Please help the Village keep our roads clear and safe for drivers, pedestrians, and bicylists.  

Yard Waste and Recycling Drop-Off Dates

Residents can drop-off yard waste and recyclables at the sled hill parking lot on the third Tuesday of each month from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Upcoming drop-off dates include:

• Tuesday, Oct. 16
• Tuesday, Nov. 20

Yard Waste Guidelines 

• All yard waste should be put in a reusable container, or placed in biodegradable bags.
• Waste should be set at the end of the driveway, away from mailboxes and other permanent objects for easy accessability.
• Combine all acceptable yard waste materials into one pile per property.
• Excessive piles (as defined in  Section 82-32 of the Village Code) may require a special pick-up.  Please contact Village Hall for more information on special pick-ups.
• Residents may drop-off yard waste and recycables at the sled hill parking lot on the third Tuesday of each month from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  

Loose Leaf Guidelines

• Please set leaves curbside, out of the ditch, and not in the road for pickup.
• Leaves do not need to be put into a bag(s) for collection (during loose leaf season). However, bagged leaves to do help speed up collection, allowing for more leaf collection.  Please do not use plastic bags for leaves. Please have all loose leavesconsolidated into one pile per property.
• Place material away from mailboxes or other structures so that it may be easily accessible.  Do not mix leaves with other yard waste, such as branches or twigs.
• Please keep all leaves out of the ditch and culvert area, this will help during the wet spring season.  Open burning is prohibited.
