The Village’s recycling contractor, Lakeshore Recycling Systems, will remove from the parkway anything that two people can reasonably lift into a truck, except for electronics, yard waste, dirt, stone, logs, construction materials/debris, batteries, paint, and other liquids.
To minimize litter problems, all items should be placed on residential parkways no earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup. There will be no call-backs if the material is not on the parkway by 7 AM the day of your scheduled pick-up. Call 847-716-3568 with questions.
