Residents urged to take health precautions in dangerously high temperatures, humidity

Due to a predicted heatwave, the Village's waste hauler, Groot Industries, will collect garbage and recycling one hour earlier the rest of this week. 

Garbage and recycling collection will begin at 5 a.m. on Thursday, July 18, and Friday, July 19, instead of the regular 6 a.m. start. Residents should have their garbage and recycling out at the curb before 5 a.m. on their regular collection day. Place containers outside the night before your scheduled collection.

Residents are advised to avoid strenuous activity outdoors during daytime hours, stay hydrated, learn the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and check up on neighbors. Do not leave children or pets unattended in vehicles for any length of time.
