Not really, but you can discourage them. Commercial solicitors are required to register with the Village. They must obtain a Village-issued photo ID badge, and are instructed not to approach a residence displaying a "No Solicitors" decal. These free decals are available at the Cashier's Counter and Police Department. Please report violations to the Police Department by calling 911.
How can I dispose of reusable household goods, clothing, etc.?
Goodwill Industries has a drop-off for donations of clothing and household goods. The closest Goodwill store is located at 1420 South Rt. 59 (just north of Schick Road) in Bartlett –Tel: (630) 837-1410. This site may also accept computer peripherals.
What do I need to have a garage sale?
Obtain a garage sale permit online before the sale is conducted. There is no cost for the permit. Please note that only two garage sales, per year, are permitted for each address. Garage sales are permitted between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. The Village lists all registered garage sales on our website here.
Where can I put my garage sale signs?
You may place signs on your property during the garage sale. You may also place it on a neighbor’s property, if you have the owner's permission. However, no signs are allowed in the public rights-of-way (medians, parkways by street, on utility poles or traffic signs, etc.) or on fences.
