Yard Waste Collection
Yard waste collection runs April 1st through November 30th each year. Glenview residents have the follow options for yard waste collection:
Pay by the bag sticker program: An unlimited amount of properly prepared yard waste bags or resident owned 33 gallon rigid containers (not exceeding 50 pounds in weight) will be collected curbside each week as long as a prepaid landscape waste sticker is affixed to each container.
Grass clippings, leaves, twigs, garden debris, weeds, fruits, seeds, stalks, vines, bark and wood chips may be placed at the curb on the regularly scheduled pick up day in biodegradable paper “kraft” bags or containers not to exceed 33 gallons in size or 50 pounds. Bags are preferred to be rolled and crimped closed and be easily lifted to waist height and must not exceed 50lbs.
Landscape waste stickers are available at the following locations:
Village Hall, 2500 East Lake Avenue
Glenview Public Library, 1930 Glenview Road
Jewel, 1340 Patriot Boulevard, 2775 Pfingsten Road, 2502 Waukegan Road
Weiss Ace Hardware, 1560 Waukegan Road
Heinen's, 1020 Waukegan Road
Subscription Program: For an annual fee, households subscribing to the subscription program allows up to four 30 gallon bags (or one (1) 95 gallon Groot provided cart for an additional fee) placed out for collection each week without the use of stickers. Additional yard waste bags beyond the 4 allowed (or outside of the Groot provided 95 gallon cart) will require a yard waste sticker affixed to each item.
Electronic Waste Collection - "e-waste"
The Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act prohibits any person from allowing or to cause mixing of any of the items listed with municipal waste that is intended for disposal at a landfill.
Groot Industries offers collection of these items directly from your home for an additional fee; however, you must contact us in advance to schedule a pick-up and make arrangements.
All items collected will be recycled and rendered inoperable. Due to the sensitive nature of some electronic items (computer hard drives or storage devices), we prefer to pick up items from the front, side, or top of drive locations.
Customers also have the option to bring their items directly to drop-off sites throughout the area, most of which are for no charge. Please visit the where and how page of our site and click on your county and then your town to search for area drop–off locations.
