New garbage cart delivery

Starting the week of June 6, Oswego households will receive a free 95-gallon garbage cart from Groot Industries. A 35-gallon cart will be delivered to senior citizens who receive the Village's senior utility bill discount. Residents who previously rented a garbage cart from Groot will keep their current cart and will not receive a new cart. All charges for rented carts have been discontinued. Residents who previously purchased a Groot garbage cart will receive a new 95-gallon cart, and can keep their original cart. If you do not want to keep both carts, Groot will pick up one of the carts upon request. After delivery, all households will be required to use a Groot garbage cart for trash disposal. A non-Groot container, 35 gallons or less and under 50 pounds, can only be used once the 95-gallon cart has been filled.  Visit the 2022 Groot Contract FAQs for additional information.

Downtown speed limit & buckle up

Oswego Police Department has stepped up enforcement for the Memorial Day Ticket or Click It Campaign through Tuesday, May 31. Wearing seat belts has proven to be one of the best ways to save your life in a crash. Unfortunately, many people still don't buckle up. And, for the safety of all, OPD wants to remind everyone that the speed limit in downtown Oswego is 20 mph. Here are a few of the signs that motorists seem to be missing.
