There is NO scheduled branch/limb pickup by the Village this summer. According to village ordinances, the piles of branches and limbs that are currently in front yards and ditches are the responsibility of the residents and need to be removed and not left there until the next village wide pick up is announced.
The Village Public Works Dept. is going to be performing a water main valve replacement on June 3,
2024, starting at 7AM. Water service to the affected properties will be interrupted starting at
approximately 8 to 830 AM that same day. More detailed information is located in documents under Water and Public Works.
The following roads will be closed for Public Works
to complete the water repairs starting on June 3, 2024
Limb pickup will take place the week of May 6th, 2024, August 12, 2024, and November 4, 2024, as the tentative dates depending on budget constraints. All limb piles must be placed along the street edge BEFORE 7:00am the morning of those above dates. Any piles placed after 7:00am on the above dates WILL NOT be picked up. Piles must not be placed out any earlier than 1 WEEK prior to pick up dates. (per Ordinance) Size of pile restrictions are still in place per Ordinance. Any piles larger than 6ft wide x 4ft tall x 8ft long are considered oversize and will require a $75.00 fee to be paid before pickup will occur. Residents who either have “Oversized” piles, or were late setting piles out will be notified via a letter stating why their pile was not removed, and any fees owed, and where to pay fees. Any questions can be directed to Public Works Supervisor David Wilken directly at 217-546-9647.
Currently, there are several limb piles that have been placed at the street too early and will not be picked up by the Village Public Works, per our Village ordinances. Residents will need to arrange removal at their expense. Residents can only place limbs out front one week prior to pick up. Earliest date would be Monday April 29, 2024, for the May 6, 2024, pick up.
