Household Garbage Pick Up

All household garbage must be placed in an authorized container, supplied by the resident, and placed curbside after 6 p.m. on the day preceeding your pick-up day (see schedule below), and must be removed from the curb no later than 6 p.m. on your pick-up day.

An authorized container must be constructed of galvanized metal or durable plastic with a capacity of no less than 10 gallons and no more than 35 gallons. It must have a tight-fitting lid. Please identify all containers and lids with your address using a waterproof marker. Plastic bags are not authorized containers and will not be picked up.

Each resident is allowed two authorized garbage containers per pick-up. Each additional garbage container requires an identifying sticker issued by the Village. Stickers may be purchased at the Village Office for $1.50 each.

Landscape waste requires a yard waste sticker that can be purchased at the village Hall for $2.40 per sticker.

Holiday Garbage Pick-Up Schedule

When regularly scheduled garbage pick-up days fall on a legal holiday, garbage pick up is delayed one day. In other words, if your regular pick up day is on Monday and it is a legal holiday, your pick up will be moved until Tuesday. If your pick-up day is Friday and it falls on a holiday, your pick-up day will be moved until Monday.

Legal Holidays: The legal holidays observed by the Village are: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

For questions regarding your pick up schedule, please call the Public Works office at (708) 681-3602.

Leaf Pick Up - Residential

All leaves must be placed in paper bags. Leaves can no longer be raked in a long pile on the parkway next to the curb, as was previously allowed. Paper bags are available at the Village Hall - the first 10 bags are free.

Please do not rake leaves into the street as it creates a safety hazard for children, residents, and vehicles, clogs sewers, and makes it difficult for Village equipment to gather the leaves. Grass clippings are not to be added to the leaves. If you have any questions, please call the Village Hall.

Zone 5A - Beverly: (North of Terry Lane West to Cermak Road, East of 25^th Avenue to Terry Lane)—Vacuumed every week on Friday

Branch/Brush Pick Up

Branch and brush pick up is provided by the Public Works Department every Monday, beginning on the first Monday in April through the last Monday in October.

Pile branches and brush neatly on the parkway, with the butt end of the branches facing to curb. (Grass clippings, weeds or foreign objects may not be included.)

Evergreen Cuttings go into your yard waste bag to be picked up according to the Yard Waste regulations and schedule detailed below. Larger evergreen branches (two feet or more) may be piled curbside. Place branches on parkway after 6 p.m. on the evening prior to pick up.

Christmas Trees

Place on the parkway after the first two weeks in January. Public Works will pickup Christmas trees only from the parkway, not from the alleys. Pick up will be during the third week of January only. No Christmas Wreaths will be picked up by Public Works.

Yard Waste Pick Up

Yard waste is picked up weekly, the same day as your garbage pick up, according to the garbage schedule detailed above. Yard waste is picked up separately from your garbage, at a different time of day. There is no alley pick up for yard waste. All yard waste must be placed curbside by 6 p.m. on the day proceeding your pick-up day.

Yard waste must be placed in an authorized brown, biodegradable paper bag. There is no limit to the number of bags picked up, but each bag must be properly identified with a Yard Waste Sticker. Yard Waste Stickers are available at the Village Office. Plastic bags are not acceptable for yard waste and will not be picked up.

Appliance Pick Up

Discarded appliances will be picked up on your regular garbage day (refer to the schedule above) at no additional charge, with prior notice. Appliances must be placed beside your regular garbage, either curbside or in the alley. All doors must be removed from all appliances for safety reasons.

You must notify the Village waste hauler (Crown Disposal) one day prior to your regular pick up to notify them of your need and your address, at (708) 485-0900.
