Bagged Yard Waste Collection Resumes Next Week

Bagged landscape waste pickup starts the first week of April on your regular collection day. Yard waste must be placed in a 30-gallon paper bag and placed at the curb with a sticker affixed for collection.

A sticker is also required for each bundle of sticks or other yard waste. Bundles cannot exceed 4 feet in length, 30 inches in circumference and 50 pounds in weight. The price of landscape waste stickers this year is $3.00. Collection runs April 1 through December 15.

Keep in mind that your compost containers can be used at no additional cost for yard waste, as well. Organic (compostable) material, such as yard waste and food waste, account for 24.9% of all the landfill waste in Lake County. Diverting organic materials to a compost bin means that our landfills won’t fill up as fast. Instead, food waste can be turned into healthy soil that can be used on farms and in many other ways.

Prevent Child Abuse

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and we are supporting the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center and their Blue Kids Program! We hope to raise awareness surrounding child abuse in our community not just this month, but all year long. For more information, check out their website at www.friendsoflccac.org.

Take a Step Back in Time to 1950

Calling all history buffs! Today, the U.S. Census Bureau today released data from the 1950 census.

So far, we've located the home of former Public Works Superintendent William Johnston and a young man who worked part-time as a pin setter at a bowling alley. You can take yourself back in time and learn about life in Deerfield in the 1950s here.
