Yard Waste Pickup Days  - Begins April 6 and 7, 2026

Refuse/Yard Waste pickup days for residents north of the BNSF tracks is Monday and for residents south of the BNSF tracks is Tuesday. Unincorporated addresses may have a different day and/or service.

Yard Waste Stickers

Yard waste requires stickers for the months of April - September. From October - first two weeks of December (weather permitting)  Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) will provide unlimited collection of yard waste containers on your normal day of pickup without stickers for the purpose of leaf collection. To avoid any confusion, all bagged yard waste (leaves, mixed grass leaves, fall clean up, etc.) shall be picked up at no charge during these months. Simply place out with your other garbage without a sticker.

Stickers can be purchased at the Village Hall, Jewel on 55th and the Clarendon Hills Hardware store in the downtown.

During the month of January, residents serviced by LRS may place their discarded live Christmas trees curbside for pickup by LRS on their regularly scheduled pickup day. The service is free.
