Stormwater Utility Fee Town Hall Meetings

The Village of Libertyville is considering implementing a stormwater utility fee to finance the capital improvements identified in the Master Stormwater Management Plan. Residents and business can learn more about the proposed fee by visiting the Village’s stormwater utility fee web page here. This web page includes fee background, a list of frequently asked questions, and a tool that allows customers to lookup their property’s estimated stormwater utility fee amount. If adopted by the Village Board, the fee would go into effect on September 1, 2021.

The Village will be hosting two virtual town hall sessions in the coming weeks to review the proposed fee and stormwater capital improvement plan. The dates of the virtual town halls are:

-Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 7:00pm
-Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 7:00pm

The virtual meeting links are available at the link above and will also be shared on social media. In order to facilitate the virtual meeting participants are encouraged to submit questions or provide feedback in advance of the meeting by emailing stormwaterhelp@libertyville.com. Comments and questions will be read aloud during the meeting. Each town hall session will be recorded and uploaded for later viewing on the Village’s website.

Residential Composting

Beginning January 1, 2021 , residents have the opportunity to participate in residential composting. Residents may rent a 95-gallon cart from Groot at a one-time rate of $40.00 per season (in addition to the landscape waste subscription rate of $170.00). Residents renting a cart for landscape waste will be permitted to place organic waste (fruits and vegetables) in the cart for collection along with their landscape waste. To set up residential composting service contact Groot at (847) 693-2700. To learn more about the benefits of composting click here.

Holiday Tree Disposal

Tree bags, lights and decorations must be removed. To learn more about the Village's refuse and recycling programs click here.

To compost holiday trees visit the Lake County Forest Preserve ("LCFP"). The LCFP is offering tree recycling through February 1st.
