Sanitation

The Board of Trustees takes pride in the fact that the Village pays for all residential refuse, recycling and yard waste pick up for our residents to include bulk and appliance pick-ups. Our Basic Service includes once per week curbside pickup of trash, recycling and yard waste. Our 5-year 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.

Trash, recyclables, yard waste and other items must be placed curbside for pickup by 7:00 a.m. the scheduled pickup day.
Waste Management observes six holidays per year:

         New Years Day
 Labor Day
         Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day

If the holiday falls during the business week and it is before your pick up day, your pick up schedule will fall ONE DAY later for that week. If the holiday is on Saturday or Sunday, the pickup schedule does NOT change.
