Weather permitting, Public Works crews will
attempt one final sweep throughout the village
to collect the bulk leaves starting on Sunday, December 2nd. One crew will start on the east side and the second crew will begin on the far west side both working toward the center of the village. We will work diligently giving it our best
attempt to complete this one final sweep of the village, providing enough of
the snow melts and the icy conditions do not hinder our progress. Grass clippings,
sticks, twigs and other debris cannot be collected by the leaf vacuum. Placement of foreign debris in the leaf piles will result in the crew skipping
your address. Additionally, crews cannot vacuum leaves that are within
10’ of a tree, mailbox, fire hydrant, street light, street sign, etc. Do
not park cars in front of the leaves to be collected, as our leaf vacuum will not
be able to reach them. Please have your leaves out by 7 a.m. on Sunday morning to avoid missing the pick-up. Crews will not be able to return if you miss the pick-up.
Leaves for bulk pick-up must be placed on the parkway in front of
the property from which they originate, so please do not rake leaves into the
street or onto other lots.
The
Village’s refuse hauler, LRS/DC Trash, will also pick up yard waste for one additional week on
your regularly scheduled collection day for no additional charge through Friday, December 7th, 2018. There
are no stickers needed, however, you will need to put the leaves in yard waste
bags or clearly marked 32-gallon yard waste cans with two handles. Bags
must be placed at the curb no earlier than 5:00 p.m. the night before your
scheduled collection.
Please remember—leaf burning is prohibited by Village
ordinance.
