Leaves Are Falling, What To Do With Them

Public Works will begin loose leaf collection on Monday, October 19 (weather permitting).

Though collections will be done weekly, there is no specific collection schedule. Collection is dependent on crew availability and the volume of leaves that need to be collected.

This year, Village requests residents do not use leaf collection or yard waste bags.

Instead, residents are being asked to place leaves and small yard waste debris directly in the roadway near the curb.

Branches can still be left in the parkway area for brush chipper collection.

The DPW will run yard waste crews to pick-up leaves until the first significant snowfall or through the first week in December.

Yard Waste Material Drop Site: Residents with yard waste material after collection has finished (and throughout the winter months) may dispose of it at the Shorewood Transfer Station. Click here for cost information. The transfer station is located at 3801 N Morris Boulevard in Shorewood.
