Beginning November 5, Groot will provide leaf vacuuming services at the curb. The provision of this service requires residents to rake leaves to within five (5) feet of the edge of the road (not in ditches). A map of the leaf vacuuming schedule is linked below. When placing leaves at the curb please do not block culverts or storm sewer openings. Leaves piled in these areas may create drainage problems in the event of heavy rains or melting snow. Groot will make every effort to collect leaves along each Village roadway every week, however, such factors as weather or large volumes of leaves may slow down collection. 

SWALCO TO HOST ONE DAY ONLY SPECIAL ELECTRONICS RECYCLING COLLECTION EVENT FOR LAKE COUNTY BUSINESS, SCHOOLS, NON FOR PROFITS AND UNITS OF GOVERNMENT Attention all Lake County business, schools, churches, non for profits and units of government! The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) will be hosting a one day only special electronics recycling collection event for broken and unwanted electronics. This one day special event will be held on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Village of Antioch Municipal Parking Lot (Toft Ave.) in Antioch. Recycling fees will be assessed for televisions and cathode ray tube monitors ($35 for TV’s 21” and larger, $25 for TV’s 20” or smaller, and $25 for each cathode ray tube monitor) all other acceptable electronics will be collected at no cost. Cash, check or major credit cards are accepted for payment of applicable recycling fees. SWALCO routinely provides no cost opportunities for Lake County residents to recycle their broken or unwanted electronics from their homes through a network of drop off locations operating around Lake County. However, State law limits these locations to accepting only residentially generated electronics. SWALCO has recognized there is a need to offer electronics recycling opportunities to Lake County businesses, schools, non for profits and units of government whose electronics do not apply to the residential generated definition of the Law. To address this need, SWALCO has partnered with eWorks Electronics Services Inc., to provide a service called the Business Concierge Program. This one day only special electronics recycling collection event will provide Lake County businesses, schools, non for profits and units of government the opportunity to drop off limited quantities of electronics (approximately 100 electronic items per guest). Organizations with larger quantities of electronics are asked to contact SWALCO directly to arrange a special pickup. All Lake County businesses, schools, non for profits and units of government must provide a Federal tax identification letter or business card in order to be permitted to drop off electronics during this one day only special electronics collection event. The following is a list of some but not all of the electronic items that will be accepted at no cost: Personal Computers (including tablets), LCD Monitors (Non-CRT Monitors), Electronic Keyboards, Mice, Small Scale Servers, Printers, Scanners, Copiers, Fax Machines, Cable Receivers, Satellite Receivers, VCRs, DVRs, DVD Players, Telephones, Cell Phones, Stereos, Radios, Microwaves, Portable Digital Music Players, Shredders, Calculators, Postage Machines, Cords, Cables, and other Electronic Office Equipment. Recycling fees will be assessed for televisions and cathode ray tube monitors ($35 for TV’s 21” and larger, $25 for TV’s 20” or smaller, and $25 for each cathode ray tube monitor) all other acceptable electronics will be collected at no cost. Cash, check or major credit cards are accepted for payment of applicable recycling fees.
