Trash & Recycling Pickup
Tuesday is the normal garbage collection day. Trash must be at the curb by 8:00 a.m. Please do not place it there more than 24 hours prior to this time.Special, clear Village trash bags must be used and can be purchased at Village Hall for $1.25 per bag. These special garbage bags come in rolls of 25, but may be purchased in smaller amounts upon request.
Recyclable materials are not to be put in these garbage bags. You are expected to take your recyclables to our Recycle Center. If your garbage bags contain too much recyclable material we may have to tag it and not pick it up, as we have rules to follow at the landfill concerning which items we may dispose of.
Special collections may be made for items that are too large to fit into garbage bags. You may pay $5 per item at Village Hall for each item you need picked up. Please see the Recycle Center information regarding electronics, tires, & appliances.
