Fall and fall leaf season will be here soon, bringing with it a new leaf pick-up program here in Hinsdale. This new program will keep our streets cleaner and safer; it will also help to keep leaves out of Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District's sewers and storm drains. The most important thing to remember is that leaves may no longer be placed in the street for removal!

The new leave pick-up program has several options:

Update ~ November 19, 2007 ~ Update
The leaf pick up program with Allied Waste has been extended to December 6, 2007. This includes the Senior Program.

  • Free weekly removal from October 1st thru November 30th of all bagged or containered leaves by Allied Waste at the time of your regular trash picku-up. Bags and/or containers may not exceed 34 gallons or 60 pounds. Bags must be paper. PLEASE NOTE: This free pick up is for leaves ONLY. No other yard waste will be picked up for free.
  • If you choose not to bag, you can hire Fuller's Home Services to remove leaves that you or your lawn service have raked to the parkway (not to the street). You will be responsible for contacting Fuller's and scheduling each picku-up. Leaves should be removed within 3 days of there placement on the parkway.
  • If you are a senior citizen, you may apply at Village Hall for assistance in having leaves removed from your parkway.
  • You may also choose to keep your leaves on your property to be composted for use as mulch. Our Village Arborist and Horticulturalist highly recommend the use of compost for keeping plants and trees healthy.

Remember, leaves should never be placed in the street. Homeowners who place leaves in the street will be subject to a fee of $75 and up after their first offense.

With everyone's cooperation and a doubling of our usual fall street-sweeping, we expect to have a cleaner, safer fall leaf season.
