Winnetka Leaf Collection Underway

The following is from the Village of Winnetka:

The Village’s annual curbside leaf collection program has begun and will continue until 7:00 AM on Monday, December 1. Under this program, residents may rake their leaves to the parkway just inside the edge of the curb for collection. Please do not rake leaves into the streets, as this creates a hazard. Not only are leaves slippery when wet, leaf piles in the street may clog storm sewers, leading to flooding.

Collection crews operate in a circular pattern, beginning west of Green Bay Road in the northwest corner of the Village, and working their way south. When the west side of town is completed, collection begins east of Green Bay Road in the southeast portion of Winnetka and works north. When one such round is complete, crews begin again and continue in the same manner. The time needed to complete a round varies; however, the Village aims to complete 6 to 8 rounds during the length of the program. Please call Public Works Department, 847-716-3568, with questions.
