RESIDENTIAL BULK CLEAN-UP SCHEDULE

In an effort to maintain services to Village residents and avoid tax increases, the Village Board has approved splitting the spring residential bulk trash collection into a two-day event for 2012.  The bulk pickup days will occur on non-recycling collection days so the crews do not have to work around the recycling carts.

The Village will be divided into two zones.  Zone A will be picked up on Friday, May 4, 2012 and Zone B on Friday, May 18, 2012.  Click HERE to view map outlining the two zones.

Please contact the Village Clerk's Office with any questions at 527-2510.
