Garbage Service Enhancements

The Village recently awarded a contract to Groot for garbage and recycling services following a competitive open process, thus continuing our partnership but with a few new service enhancements and savings! In addition to lower rates that were implemented in June 2026, a few new perks include…

FREE CART SIZE EXCHANGE (October Only!)

Need a different size? During the month of October, you can request a different size for your garbage and/or recycling toters at no cost! Available sizes are 35, 65 and 95 gallons. Call Groot at 1-847-693-2700 to make the switch. Please note: Requests outside of October will result in a fee. Moving forward, a free exchange period will be offered annually each spring!

UNLIMITED BAGGED LEAF PROGRAM (October 15 – November 30)

Enjoy abbreviated unlimited bagged leaf collection included with your regular service! From Thursday, October 15 through Monday, November 30, residents may utilize abbreviated unlimited bagged leaf collection, which is now included with their garbage/recycling service.
