Holiday Collection Schedule

Collection may be delayed one day following a holiday. The following holidays affect the collection schedule:

Hours of Collection
7:00 am -  5:00 pm

Materials must be placed at the curb no earlier than 5:00 pm the day before collection, but no later than 7:00 am the day of collection, (there is no guarantee that the truck will be in your neighborhood at the same time each week).  Refuse containers must be removed from the curb by 9:00 pm the day of collection.

Refuse Containers
Reusable containers (cans) or sealed impervious (plastic) bags may be used.  Bags and containers cannot exceed 33 gallons and may not exceed 50 pounds in weight.  Overweight or over capacity containers may not be picked up.  Residents may arrange for wheeled cart service, for an additional fee, by calling Veolia at 630-587-8282.

Recycling
Green-recycling bins will be distributed by Veolia for recycling and are to be placed at the curb to serve as a visual signal to the collection crew that you have recyclables for pick-up.  The first bin will be furnished at no charge.  Additional bins are available at $6.00 each, by calling Veolia at (630) 587-8282.  (Old blue recycling bins may also be used.)

Landscape/Yardwaste
Collection is seasonal and for 2008 occurs from April 1st through December 15th, and again, the first three (3) pick-ups in January for the collection of Christmas Trees.

Landscape/yardwaste includes: grass clippings, leaves, weeds, shrubbery, brush, small branches and other material accumulated as a result of the care of lawns, shrubbery and trees.  Disposal of landscape/yardwaste must be in either brown Kraft paper bags available for purchase at local stores, or by designating a regular trash can to be used solely for Yardwaste.  This is accomplished by purchasing a single Yardwaste sticker for $1.00 at Village Hall.  This sticker is to act as a visual signal to the crew that you have Yardwaste for pick-up.

Household furnishings
One item per week will be picked up on regular collection days.  There will be no additional charge for this service.

Appliances (White Goods)
Including but not limited to stoves, ovens, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, water softeners, water heaters, microwave ovens, trash compactors and dishwashers.  For safety reasons please remove all doors prior to placing at the curb.  There is a $25.00 charge per item for the collection of these appliances.  Please call Veolia at (630) 587-8282 to arrange for a pick up.

Construction/Remodeling Debris
Two yards collected weekly at no additional charge.  Includes items such as lumber, drywall, paneling, carpeting, rocks, dirt, concrete, sod, bricks and branches greater the 6" in diameter.  These materials must be placed in bags or boxes not to exceed 4 feet in length and 50 pounds in weight.  Single items such as toilets, sinks, vanities, garage doors, swing sets, and kitchen cabinets must be disassembled and each portion or item cannot exceed 50 pounds in weight.  There will be an additional charge of $7.50 (minimum charge of 2 cubic yards) per cubic yard, payable prior to service for quantities of construction/remodeling debris in excess of two (2) cubic yards.
