If you have left your garbage or recycling tote out in the tree lawn area, or near the road, a day or two too long, you may have received a warning notice from the Villlage. 

Per Codified Ordinance 955.10 and 955.11, the Village may remove your totes from the tree lawn area if they are left out until the Friday after garbage pickup, and charge you for the removal.

The Village sends a warning notice to give you a chance to keep your totes pulled back from the street. If you have repeat offenses, the Village will charge you $20 for the tote removal, a charge which appears on your water bill.

The greatest temperature swing in one day was on Monday, September 9 when the high was 91 degrees and the low was 57 degrees, a difference of 34 degrees in one day.
