Yard waste is picked up each year from April 1 to December 15 |
| |
| Yard waste includes leaves, brush, grass clippings, garden waste, and tree and brush trimmings. Under the Village collection program, yard waste must be placed in 30-gallon biodegradable "yard waste type" paper bag, unlined 30-gallon rigid metal or plastic garbage can, or in the 90-gallon wheeled containers available through Waste Management. |
| |
| Plastic bags may not be used for any yard waste, and will not be picked up by Waste Management. |
| |
| Each homeowner participating in the program will be required to purchase a sticker(s). Each sticker costs $1.25, which covers the cost of pick up and disposal of the yard waste. Residents shall affix one (1) sticker on each 30-gallon container (paper bag, metal/plastic trashcan) or three (3) stickers on each 90-gallon wheeled container. Residents must face the sticker on the street side of the container(s) for proper pick up. |
| |
Stickers are available for purchase at the Village Municipal Complex and at a number of retail outlets.
|
| |
| If you have any brush or tree trimmings, cut them up and bind them into bundles of no more than four (4) feet in length, two (2) feet in diameter and weighing no more than fifty (50) pounds per bundle. Tree trimmings and branches cannot be wider than three and a half (3.5) inches in diameter. Please do not bind the bundle with wire or nylon cord. |
| |
| No sticker is required for brush or tree trimmings as long as they are prepared properly. |
