Some information about refuse and recycling tote removal

Posted by Reema Bazzy on Thursday, September 12, 2013

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.

Village Voice: The importance of proper street address placement

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 31, 2013

You are waiting for your pizza to be delivered, and you wonder why it is taking so long. Finally the driver arrives, frustrated because she couldn’t find your address on your house.

Waiting a few extra minutes for a pizza is an inconvenience, but having an improperly placed street address, or no visible street address, could be a life or death situation when emergency services are trying to respond to a call.

Work orders for water and sewer services are issued based on street addresses, and if Village employees have difficulty locating your house number, your requested work may be delayed.
