The last yard waste collection of the season will be conducted by WM either Monday, November 27 or Tuesday, November 28, depending on which day is your primary garbage collection day.
Single-use yard waste stickers are available at Village Hall and other locations for $2.30 each. Rake leaves into Kraft paper bags and secure a sticker to each bag. Garbage cans with a large "X" marking may also be used.
Leaves should not be raked into the streets, where they can clog your neighborhood's storm sewer and cause flooding. Note that the Village does not contract for leaf removal service outside of the weekly pick-up offered by WM.
Want to "go green" this fall? Consider mulching your leaves or using them as winter insulation for your flower beds. For mulching tips, check out SWALCO as well as the University of Illinois Extension.
