Next Week is Final Week of Village's Loose Leaf Pickup Program

Village crews will travel throughout Lisle to collect leaves from residences in Lisle's corporate limits.

The village's Loose Leaf Pickup Program's final week begins Monday. Village crews will travel throughout Lisle to collect leaves from residences in Lisle's corporate limits. Homeowners should adhere to the following guidelines when preparing their leaves: After the week of Nov. 12, the village's waste hauler will pick up yard waste bags, but a "yard waste sticker" must be affixed to each bag. Do not rake leaves to the curb during this time. There will not be a free pick up after the week of Nov. 12. The waste hauler will continue to pick up tagged yard waste bags through the second Tuesday of December. For more information regarding the free Leaf Pickup Program, call (630) 271-4180.
