Trash & Recycling
The Village contracts with an independent waste contractor, Waste Management Inc., for regular household trash and recycling pick-up.
Household trash is collected from residents’ cans at the side or rear of each house twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
Yard Waste -organic yard debris/grass clippings/leaves in brown leaf bags-is picked up from the curb on Mondays.
Recyclable materials— mixed paper & bundled cardboard can be co-mingled with glass bottles/cans/plastic containers in blue recycling bin provided by the Village—are collected once a week at the curb on Tuesdays (date change as of 10/20/09).
*****
Bulk/heavy trash is collected from the curb on the second Saturday of every-other month. (July, September, November, January, March, and May)
Bulk items include furniture, toys, household “junk”, appliances and the like.
Call the Office in advance if you have an appliance to be picked up.
Yard waste is removed as a part of the ordinary weekly yard waste pick up and is therefore
not included.
Items not accepted are : hazardous materials (gas, paint thinner, asbestos), tires, batteries, appliances that have not had their Freon removed, dirt, rocks, sand, large tree stumps, liquids, paint, building materials or construction debris (including drywall), recyclable materials. Paints will be picked up if the cans have been dried out or filled with an absorbent material such as kitty litter and allowed to dry completely.
