Recycling pickup is every Friday unless otherwise scheduled. Residents are encouraged to recycle. A recycling container is available for $5.75 each on request. Containers should be placed at the curb for collection. Call the Village Office at 526-4436 to obtain a container.

Stick and yard waste pickup:

Curbside pickup for sticks, tree branches and yard waste takes place the first Monday of each month. Residents should set out yard waste in containers or on tarps for village employees to pick them up. Items should not be placed in plastic bags because the village employees will not remove them and will leave them at the curb. Flowers should be removed from flower pots before setting them out for pickup.

 Special pickups can be scheduled by calling the village office.

The Village also places a red manure spreader at the wastewater treatment plant for residents that do not wish to utilize the curbside service. This spreader is normally in place from March 15th. through October 1st. of each year.

Leaf pickup:

Curbside pickup for leaves takes place each Monday from October 1st. through December 1st. of each year. Residents are asked to place their leaves at the curbside so village employees can vacuum them up. Yard waste may also be placed curbside during leaf pickup. Items should not be placed in containers or plastic bags. Flowers should be removed from their pots before placing them out for pickup.
