trash collection sERVICES
MONDAYS: TRASH/BULKY ITEMS WEDNESDAYS: RECYCLING/YARD WASTE/APPLIANCES
The Board of Trustees takes pride in the fact that the Village pays for all residential trash, recycling and yard waste pick up for our residents to include bulk and appliance pick-ups. Trash, recyclables, yard waste and other items must be placed curbside for pickup by 7:00 a.m. the scheduled pickup day.
BASIC SERVICE
Our Basic Service includes once per week curbside pickup of trash, recycling and yard waste. Our contract provides green containers to the condo residents (as many as needed) to be picked up outside of their garages and provides 64-gallon toters on wheels to the homeowners to be picked up at the curb. The refuse hauler is responsible for maintenance and replacement of any of these containers at no cost to the resident. With the new law stating that Freon needs to be removed from any refrigerant, the Village has agreed to pay the cost of this removal when set up through our hauler.
Mondays: Trash and Bulky Items:
One bulky item may be added to your trash for pickup.
Contact the Village Office when you have a large bulky that takes two people to dispose of.
