Oswego Village Yard Waste Pick-Up Begins Today

The following was provided by the Village of Oswego:

Yard waste pick up begins the week of April 1st and will continue weekly until Friday, November 29th.

The State of Illinois defines yard waste as grass or shrubbery cuttings, leaves, small tree limbs and other materials accumulated as the result of the care of lawns, shrubbery, vines and trees. Examples of yard waste include grass clippings, leaves, branches, limbs, weeds, logs, and garden plants.

Your waste material will be collected only if it is placed in a 30 gallon Kraft paper bag with 1 Groot Industries yard waste sticker affixed to the front of the bag. The bags and stickers are available at local retail grocery and hardware stores. Yard waste will be collected on the same day that your regular trash is collected.

Please have your yard waste, trash and recycling at your curb by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day. The week of April 15th (on your scheduled pick up day) will be a free week. For that week only place your bags at the curb without a sticker.
