Republic Services uses a holiday schedule for only 6 holidays per year as follows:
- New Years Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Please refer to the Refuse and Recycling page for additional information on holidays that affect refuse pick-up.
- How do I report a power outage?
-
All power outages can be reported on the ComEd website, with an account number or phone number on file. You can also sign up for alerts and view the outage map!
- When is the next branch pick-up?
-
We will only pick up larger limbs that have fallen from the parkway trees after a storm or weather event. We do not pickup branches on demand.
Scheduled Bi-Annual Branch Pickup
The Village offers free branch pickup twice per year. This service is intended for fallen branches and light tree trimming. The schedule is as follows, but check our Village calendar for specific dates:
- Northeast Quadrant First Monday in April and October
- Southeast Quadrant Second Monday in April and October
- Southwest Quadrant Third Monday in April and October
- Northwest Quadrant Fourth Monday in April and October

- My sewer is backed up. What now?
-
Call our office during business hours. After hours or on weekends, call the Police Department's non-emergency number at (708) 385-2534. We will check our sewer main to make sure it is open. As you may know, the village is responsible for the sewer main only. The homeowner is responsible for the entire sewer service from the house all the way to the main, regardless of its location. Should you need a contractor, contact the Village Hall at (708) 389-0200 or the Building Department at (708) 385-8642 for a list of licensed and bonded contractors.
