  • Stickers are not required.
     
  • Yard waste in plastic bags will not be collected.
     
  • Branches should be tightly tied with bio-degradable string or twine, in a bundle not exceeding four feet in length or 50 pounds in weight.

During this same time period, Waste Management will also remove leaves that have been raked to within five feet of the curb.


CPR Training at Fire Station #1

 

Schedule a Training Session Now

The Fire/Rescue Department encourages all residents to enroll and become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and will offer classes to those interested.

Gather a small group of friends, neighbors, or co-workers (6 or more) and give us a call to schedule a personalized CPR class.  This is perfect for youth groups, homeowners associations, religious organizations, and clubs.

Please call Fire Station #1 at 847-540-5070 for more details.

Early intervention by bystanders trained to perform high-quality chest compressions increase the chance for survival when Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs.
