In March of 2003, the Village began contracting for solid waste and recycling services. Contracting for these services eliminates future costly equipment purchases, yet provides an equal level of service to our community.
Please pay close attention to the quantities. Excess amounts will not be picked up or allowed to be left at the curb. If you do have additional trash, above the four can limit, you can now purchase tags at the Village Clerk's Office for $1.00 per tag; one tag per can/bag.
The complete waste collection guidelines, including information on brush and tree limb collection, recycling, disposal of home health care waste, weight limits, holiday schedule and street collection days can be found by clicking the link below:
