Fall Leaf Collection
The Village’s fall leaf collection begins mid-month. Residents can rake leaves into the street where Village crews will collect them. Leaves should be piled near, but slightly away from the curb to ensure proper drainage if there is a rain event.
Prior to Monday, October 14 when the program starts, the Village streetsweeper will collect any light leaf fall that is raked into the street. From October 14 through the first week of December, Village crews will collect leaves throughout the workday based on the following schedule:
• Monday: Areas west of Thatcher Avenue, including Edgewood Place, and Auvergne Place, River Oaks Drive and Lake Street, and all streets south of the railroad tracks.
• Tuesday: All streets between William Street and Harlem Avenue.
• Wednesday: All streets between Lathrop and Monroe avenues (north of the railroad tracks).
• Thursday: All streets between Park and Ashland avenues (north of the railroad tracks).
• Friday: All streets between Thatcher and Forest avenues (north of the railroad tracks).
You can find a map of the collection schedule on the Village website. Please note that this program is for leaf collection only—grass clippings, brush, and other materials should be disposed of according to the Village’s refuse and yard waste guidelines. More information on the Village’s Curbside Composting Program, including a new option to share a cart with a neighbor and split the cost, can be found here. If you would prefer to take part in the “Leave the Leaves” initiative, information can be found here.
