Garbage, recycling, and yard waste should be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on

is 847-734-6400. Groot will provide you with
the monthly rates for curbside and backdoor service. Recycling bins can be purchased at the
Village Hall or
ordered from Groot
directly when you start your service. Please put
your
address
on
your
bins. Lids are
available at additional cost.
Yard waste is

must have a
prepaid sticker attached. Stickers are available for purchase at the Village
Hall.
Grass cuttings

Declarations of Covenants and Restrictions
