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, household appliances including computers and accessories, 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 regular scheduled pick-up day during the weeks indicated above.  Bulk placed curbside at any other time will be removed but the owner of the property will be subject to a fine for its removal.

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 begin vacuum curbside pick-up of leaf piles from approximately October 15 to December 15 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 sewer system.  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.

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 a special disposal fee directly from the landfill for all tires.

SPECIAL PICK-UP FEES

Fines for non-compliance are as follows:

$25 for the first offense
$50 for the second offense
$75 for the third offense
$100 for the fourth and each additional offense thereafter

Note: excessive quantities of bulk may be charged additional fees regardless of how many offenses have occured.
