Revised 8/17/10 Garbage Collection: Please set garbage in sturdy and tightly covered containers in your alleyway by 6:30 a.m. on collection days. If you have no alley, please have cans accessible for side or back yard pickup. Containers should not exceed 50 pounds when full.
Recycling Collection: Recyclables must be placed in the recycling bin provided by the Village curbside by 6:30 a.m. on your scheduled recycling collection day. Recyclable material should be co-mingled in one bin which will be sorted at the truck. Additional bins or replacement bins are available by calling the Public Works Department. See Recycling Do's and Dont's for more recycling information.
Bulk Trash Collection: Up to 25 cubic yards of bulk trash is collected every two to three weeks depending on the season. The Bulk Trash Collection Team sweeps East to West on a cycle through the Village. During the spring and summer months, the time between trash pick-ups is normally greater due to the increase in the amount of tree and yard debris that is put out for collection.
All household and yard debris needs to be placed into two separate piles in your alley (or curbside if you have no alley) by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Limbs must be cut to a maximum of 5 feet in length and 2 inches in diameter. The Public Works Department will pick up most things with a few exceptions. We regularly pick up yard waste, appliances, furniture, old cabinets, toilets and sinks, and mattresses. We DO NOT pick up: paint, chemicals, car parts, building material such as boards with nails, concrete, bricks or blocks, dry wall, tile, roofing material or plaster. We especially DO NOT pick up any hazardous material of any sort.
Holiday Schedule: Garbage, recycling and bulk trash collection is made on all scheduled days, including holidays except Christmas Day, December 25th. Collection which would normally occur on December 25th will take place on the following day.
Garbage Fees: Garbage fees are due on a quarterly basis (in January, April, July and October). The current fee per household is $705.53 per year, or $176.38 per quarter. Fees may now be paid by credit card at the Village Hall.
