Leaf Pick-Up Extended by One Week

Residents are requested to place bagged leaves with their regularly-scheduled refuse pick-up on Monday, November 30, 2015 or Thursday, December 3, 2015.  In some cases, due to volume, collection may run behind; however, every household will receive one additional collection.  Please contact the Hinsdale Public Services Department with any questions at 630-789-7382.
 
As a reminder, the details on the Village's program are as follows:
  • Please place bagged leaves in the parkway in front of your home, along the curb. Do not place in the street.
  • While leaf pick-up is complimentary, all other yard waste will require a yard waste sticker.
  • Bags may not exceed 34 gallons or 60 pounds.
  • Please have the bags placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled pick-up date.
  • You may also choose to keep your leaves on your property to be composted for use as mulch. The Village Forester highly recommends the use of compost for keeping plants and trees healthy.
Remember, leaves should never be placed in the street. Homeowners or landscape contractors who place leaves in the street will be subject to a fine of $75 for the first offense, increasing for subsequent offenses.
