Mayor's Message

As the Passover and Easter holidays approach, I keep reflecting on a line from the Seder Haggadah: “Let all who are hungry come and eat.”

While we all are hungry for the pandemic to be over, to get back to normal, and to gather again as a community, there are families right now in our community struggling to put food on the table. Let’s remember them as we celebrate over the next two weeks by donating to the West Deerfield Township food pantry. Donations can be made here to help the food pantry provide meat, dairy and fresh produce. You can also donate gift cards from local grocery stores or support your favorite restaurant with a gift card donation to those in need.

Chag Pesach Sameach and happy Easter to all celebrating over the next two weeks.

Lakeshore Recycling FAQ

Lakeshore Recycling will take over as the Village's residential waste hauler in April.

When will Waste Management pick up my old carts?
Waste Management will pick up your old carts after your last collection in March, either March 30 or March 31. Simply leave your old carts out at the curb. Please, do not use your new Lakeshore Recycling containers until your first collection in April.

When will my new carts be delivered?
Carts will start being delivered the week of March 22. If you are traveling that week, please arrange with a neighbor or friend to bring your containers to the backyard or garage. Deliveries will continue through March 31. If you requested a smaller cart size, your new carts may not be delivered at the same time as your neighbors.

Will my cart be new or has it been used before?
The carts are brand new direct from the factory. Due to the way they were shipped, the lid may not close all the way for a few days as it expands and settles.

What if I did not receive my new carts?
Lakeshore will be delivering carts starting Monday, March 22, through March 31. If you have not received your carts during this window, contact Lakeshore at 844.NEED.LRS (844.633.3577) or Service@LRSrecycles.com.

What do I do with my old Waste Management yard waste stickers?
Update: Lakeshore Recycling will now accept any unused Waste Management yard waste stickers. This is a change from the original plan to swap them out at Village Hall. The Village and Lakeshore Recycling made this change for the convenience of residents.
