| Free Leaf Pick Up Program Begins |
|
Homewood Disposal Service provides residents a free fall leaf collection for five consecutive weeks. The free leaf pickup is conducted on the same day as residents' regular garbage pickup:
- November 4
- November 11
- November 18
- November 25
- December 2
This program requires that only leaf debris be collected sticker free if set out in the usual brown paper bags or in scavenger approved "toter" cart. Only leaf debris will be picked up at no sticker cost. Because the leaf collection is deposited at an IEPA approved composting facility, grass clippings, brush, branches, etc. will only be collected by the scavenger if placed in separate bags with the necessary landscape stickers affixed to the outside.Reminder: The last day Homewood Disposal takes yard waste is December 2nd. If you have any questions related to garbage service, or what can be put at the curb, please call Homewood Disposal directly at (708) 798-1004. |
