GARBAGE & RECYCLING INFORMATION

GARBAGE COLLECTION

Garbage collection day is every Friday.  Section 8-3-1(l) of the Municipal Code states that all recyclable materials and solid waste be placed adjacent to the public street no earlier than 24 hours before the regular collection time.  All garbage and recycling should be at the curb for collection by 6:00 a.m. of the day of collection.  Collection may be moved to Saturday if a Holiday is during the week (SEE LINK BELOW FOR PICK UP CALENDAR).  The capacity should be no more than 30 gal or 50 lbs.  The Village does currently offer a special Spring Clean Up (watch Facebook, the Salesman Sam or website calendar for date and more information) in May or June where extra garbage and larger items can be set out.
