BULK REFUSE PICK-UP
Bulk refuse shall be defined as any item that is not enclosed within a container or bag. Bulk refuse shall include, but is not limited to furniture, bedding, carpeting, large household appliances, plumbing fixtures including hot water heaters and piping, concrete, blacktop, sod, and wood debris. Bulk materials shall only be placed at the curb for free pick up on your regularly scheduled pick-up day during the first full week of the months designated by the Village Board upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Public Works. Bulk placed at the curb at any other time will be picked but the owner of the property will be subject to a fine for its removal.
REQUESTED SPECIAL PICK UPS:
Any property owner may call the DPW to request a special pick up. The fee for each requested special pick up will be a minimum of $25 per pick up. Additional amounts may be charged based on the amount and type of material out for pick up. Any requested special pick up by a tenant of a property must pre pay an agreed upon amount in advance prior to the items being picked up.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please place refuse and bulk at the curb no sooner than 12 noon on the day before your regular pick-up day. Any refuse or bulk put out in advance of this requirement will be removed and a charge will be levied against the property owner. All empty cans or containers must be removed within 12 hours after they are emptied. Place refuse in bags or containers not to exceed 50 pounds each. Any property that exceeds 12 standard 32 gallon trash cans or bags of refuse in any one week will be charged the standard special pick-up fees.
LEAF REMOVAL
DPW will conduct vacuum curbside pick up of leaf piles from approximately 10/13 to 12/13 depending on the weather. Do not place leaves in the road as they pose a hazard for children, create parking problems, and cause a back-up of the storm sewers. Residents are encouraged to bag leaves whenever possible in clear plastic or recyclable paper bags and place them at the curb with your ordinary refuse on your regular scheduled pick-up day. Please do not place leaves in garbage cans. Grass clippings must be in clear plastic or recyclable paper bags and placed at the curb on your regular scheduled pick-up day. Branches, shrubs, trees and other brush are normally picked-up each Monday.
TIRE REMOVAL
All tires placed at the curb are subject to a fee for their disposal regardless of when they are discarded, including free bulk pick up weeks. The Village is charged directly from the landfill a special disposal fee for all tires.
SPECIAL PICK-UP FEES
