The Village refuse and recycling is contracted out to an independent contractor, which is arranged by the Village. The collection of refuse and recycling is done on Wednesday mornings. Each unit is provided with 1 refuse can and 1 recycling can. The residents are billed 4 times a year for the cost of refuse and recycling.

3.Leaf, Lawn Clippings, etc.

This is a 3 season service provided by DPW, which starts in April. All leaves, weeds and lawn clippings should be placed in biodegradable bags and placed at the curb for pick up on Mondays. DPW opens the Brickyard every other Saturday, starting in April through June, then again in October through November, from 8:00 to 12:00 for disposal of tree limbs, branches and leaves. Beginning on the third week of October and ending on the first week of December, residents are allowed to rake all leaves to the curb and DPW will vacuum up the leaves. They also will pick up Christmas Trees, if left at the curb on the first two Mondays of the New Year. Be sure to check the calendar for the exact dates.
