The Mayor and Board of Trustees will be considering whether or not to continue the residential leaf collection service at their meeting on Monday December 13, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. All residents are invited to attend and provide input regarding this program.

Currently, the Village picks up leaves in all residential neighborhoods, except private developments, from the first Monday in October until the first Friday in December. In 2010, more then 8,000 cubic yards of leaves were collected. The options being considered by the Village Board include maintaining the program, creating a subscription program, or discontinuing the program. They will also be discussing options for the residents in the event that the program is discontinued.

If you cannot make the meeting, but would like to provide a comment on the program, please sent your comments to Jennifer Hughes, Director of Public Works, at jhughe@village.lincolnshire.il.us. She will forward your comments to the Mayor and Board.
