Yard Waste Materials Info

Spring Yard Waste Pickup
This year's Spring Yard Waste Materials Pick Up will begin Monday, May 4, 2015. Pickup will start in the neighborhoods that have garbage pickup on Friday and the crew will then progress through the Village sequentially along the garbage routes. They will  be making a single pass through each neighborhood, however, please note that some routes take multiple days to get through depending on the amount of material to be picked up .  The Village will be updating its website and social media platforms daily with the pickup locations. 

Piles are to be placed so as to be clear of power poles, trees and mailboxes for ease of pickup. Brush is to be kept SEPARATE from yard material and placed at roadside with stump ends of limbs placed in same direction, parallel to road. If yard material cannot be reached by the Village's machines it will then be the responsibility of the resident to dispose of the yard material.  

As a way to expedite the pickup process please have leaves, un-bagged thatch, grass, clippings, pine needles and brush less than six (6) inches in diameter, placed on the shoulder. If you have curb and gutter please place yard waste in the gutter. As an alternative to raking leaves, the Village encourages homeowners, if you have a mulching lawn mower, to mulch your leaves in place.  This practice shreds the leaves and allows the leaves to decompose and naturally feed your lawn.

Yard Waste Site
After the roadside collection, leaves and all prementioned items can be brought to the village's yard waste site (free of charge) located at 8200 Ryan Street (.25 mile south of Weston Avenue on the west side). When bringing items to the waste site, please remove leaves from bags and dispose of the bags in the provided container.
