The Village is offering a special spring curbside leaf collection for ALL Village residents. The special spring leaf collection is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 6. It is anticipated that it will take several days to collect all of the leaves throughout the Village. Public Works will continue to collect properly placed leaves until one pass has been completed in all residential areas.

- Only rake leaves into the street. Grass, branches, and other yard waste are NOT permitted and will damage Village equipment.
