2009 Leaf Collection Begins October 19

The Department of Public Works will collect bulk leaves from one, two and three family residential properties only beginning on October 19 and ending on November 13. Each street in the Village will receive collections on your two recycling days during that period of time.

Please place your leaves in the street at least two feet from the curb and in piles no wider than four feet. Never place leaves within fifteen feet of a storm sewer inlet and PLEASE help keep inlets clear of leaves at all times to help prevent street flooding during rain events. 

Leaves and grass clippings only can be accepted from the street. Piles containing branches, garden waste, soil, rocks or any material that could damage our expensive machinery will be left and become the property owners responsibility to remove and recycle.

Please remember that the Village Leaf Collection is intended to assist residents during the heaviest part of the leaf fall. All equipment used during the Leaf Collection must be reconfigured into a snow removal mode immediately after November 13, thus ending the leaf season. Leaves may also be brought to the Public Works Yard for recycling during our normal hours of operation. No leaves may be placed on the street after the last scheduled collection for your street. Please call the Department of Public Works for more information, 423-2133
