Idlewild Ave to the alley.

Year End Leaf Collection Information:
Is curbside loose leaf collection over?
Yes! Curbside loose leaf collection ended last week. Leaves raked to the curb after the crews have made the final pass will not be collected and must be bagged or containerized.
What if I have leaves or yard waste after this week? DPW will pick-up bagged and containerized leaves or yard waste material until the first significant snow fall or through the first week in December.
Where do I place my leaves?
Leaves must be containerized, which means in paper yard waste bags OR reusable hard plastic cans or carts. Containers must weigh 50 pounds or less. No plastic bags!
What Does The Village Do With The Leaves? Most of the leaves are temporarily stored and composted at a DNR monitored site shared with the City of Glendale. The composted piles are hauled away by a private sod grower and used as sod bedding material.

Did you know? The Great American Smoke Out is on Thursday, November 21, 2019. While the cessation of traditional cigarette smoking springs to mind, there is no reason not to consider quitting a vaping habit on this day of solidarity, especially if you are a teen.
According to the most recent information from the National Youth Tobacco Survey, vaping among high school students nearly doubled from 12% in 2017 to 21% in 2018. The same strategies that are used to help traditional smokers quit are easily transferable to the fight to become vape free. Make a list of reasons to quit and refer to it often. Carefully pick a quit day and prepare for it. Learn your triggers and avoid them in the early quit stages. Prepare for cravings and withdrawal. Build your support team in advance and always imagine your vape free self. You don’t have to do it alone-help is out there!
