Weekly collection of yard waste for residential dwellings of five or fewer units begins in April and continues through the last full week of November.
Bundled brush no larger than two feet in diameter and four feet in length and yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, shrubs and vines will be picked up on regular refuse collection days.
A green yard waste sticker must be attached to each brush bundle, 32-gallon paper bag and rigid container. Stickers are $3.25 each.
Residents are urged to look for alternatives to bagging yard waste such as mulching mowers, leaf shredders or backyard compost piles.
Participants in the Village's compost program can discard yard waste in their gray cart without using a green sticker.
