Curbside collection customers will receive standard 65-gallon containers unless previously requested. There is still an opportunity for residents to change cart sizes if desired.
from the Village of Lisle As part of the Village’s agreement with Republic Services/Allied Waste for the collection of refuse, recycling and yard waste, residents that currently receive curbside collection service will receive a new recycling cart during the week of May 14.

Here are some items from the village board meetings of Sept. 13 and 27.
The Village Board of Trustees reviewed a customer complaint and several zoning changes at it Monday, Sept. 27 meeting.
