Staples, paper clips, manila folders, and paper file folders are permitted, but it is requested they are removed or recycled as appropriate, if possible.

You may be asked to leave the line to sort your documents if your materials contain unpermitted items.

What to Expect Upon Arrival: Once you pull up to the loading area near the Village Hall’s circle drive main entrance, open your trunk or unlock your doors. Do not exit your vehicle unless requested. Staff will take your documents, load them in the receiving container, and return your box/es (if any). Once the receiving container is full, it will be tipped into the shredder on the truck. Documents will be shredded on-site; however, you may not wait in your car at the unloading zone for the batch to be shredded. If you wish to see your batch be shredded, you must park (limited spots available), walk back to the unloading area, and wait until your batch is loaded into the shredder.

Holiday Tree Recycling - Begins January 5 - Click for More Information

Holiday tree recycling begins Thursday, January 5, 2023, and continues every Wednesday throughout January, ending January 25, 2023. Here’s what you need to know:

Natural Trees
Natural trees, wreaths, garlands, etc. will be collected at no charge during collection days. Please limit trees placed out for collection to one per week. Natural trees are not considered bulk items, so they will not count towards your one free “bulk item” limit per week. Trees must be free of chemicals and sprays.

Artificial Trees
Artificial trees or holiday decorations can be placed at the curb as a regular “bulk item” during any regular service day throughout the year. Residents may place one bulk item at the curb every collection day for no additional charge. Any additional bulk item will require an LRS sticker.

Reminders

• Do not wrap natural trees in plastic. Trees wrapped in plastic will not be collected.

• All decorations, stands, tinsel, garland, etc. must be removed for any tree to be collected.

• Place all trees at the curbside. Only trees placed at the curb will be collected.
