Fall Leaf Collection Starts Oct. 25

The Village’s annual leaf collection program provides residents with an alternate way to dispose of their leaves. Residents who do not mulch or bag their leaves may simply rake leaves to the curb or carriage walk line the night before their scheduled pickup. Leaves should be placed in piles no greater than 5' in width. Beginning the week of October 25 and continuing through November 24, 2021, Public Works crews will make one pass by each house in the Village each week during the program. Please do not put out leaves more than one day prior to your scheduled pickup day. Vacuum hose machines are used to pick up leaves. Leaves should be raked neatly, as close to the curb as possible, so long as they are not placed in the street or on carriage walks or sidewalks. Doing this causes safety hazards to pedestrians and drivers.

The map provided highlights the quadrants of the Village and their associated pick-up day of the week. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the Public Works Department at 847.317.7245.

Survey Says 35 Percent of Households Using Compost Cart

During the month of September, Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) assisted the Village in conducting a survey of residential curbside compost participation rates. Over a two week period, LRS surveyed 6,021 homes and determined that 35%, or 2,135 homes, placed their compost cart at the curb for service. On average, 21 pounds of organic waste was generated per home per week. A total 21.97 tons of organic material was diverted from the landfill over the two week period.

A limited number of compost toolkits are available for pick up at Village Hall. Click here to learn more about the benefits of composting.
