LEAF, BRUSH & SNOW REMOVAL

LEAF, BRUSH & SNOW REMOVAL

Leaf vacuuming by the Village begins around the third week of October and ends around December 1, depending upon weather. No leaf vacuuming in the Spring.

Leaves must be loose (not bagged) along the curb.
No sticks or yard waste in the leaf piles.
Please leave space before and after the leaf piles, to make vacuuming easier.

Snow removal by the Village. When the accumulated snowfall is 2 inches or more you may not park on the street for 48 hours, except for Odd/Even Parking:

On even-numbered calendar days you may park on the side of the street with even-numbered buildings, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
On odd-numbered calendar days you may park on the side of the street with odd-numbered buildings between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
No parking in the Business District from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.

In general, please use off-street parking when possible so the Village plows may effectively clear the streets. Your patience is appreciated.

Brush pick-up by the Village begins the first Monday in March and ends the third week in November.

“Brush” is 1-inch diameter and larger. (Brush less than 1-inch diameter is “yard waste”.)
Place brush parallel and close to the curb – not in the street – by 7 a.m. on pick-up day.
Brush piles should not be taller than 4-ft, deeper than 4-ft., and longer than 12-ft.
Brush piles should be 1 foot apart.
Please do not pile brush under low-hanging trees or wires, around utility poles or other obstructions. The Village is not responsible for damage to water lines due to brush piled on top.
Piles not considered brush or stacked properly will not be picked up.

Yard waste pick-up by Northern Illinois Disposal begins the first Wednesday in April and ends the third week of November.

“Yard waste” is less than 1-inch diameter or less than 4-ft. in length.
Place yard waste on the curb by 5 a.m. on pick-up day.
Yard waste should be in a container marked with an X, not exceeding 33 gallons in capacity and/or 30 pounds, or a biodegradable yard waste bag or cardboard box.
Biodegradable (paper/cardboard) containers will be taken with the yard waste – not emptied and left onsite.
Plastic garbage bags are NOT acceptable.
Unbundled yard waste will be rejected at the curb.
