At the regular Village Board Meeting of May 15^th, sealed bids for the Village Trash/Recyclables pick up was awarded to Pollard Disposal as they were the lowest responsible bid.

Advantage will be picking up all recycling containers marked TJ’S Waste or Advantage Disposal.  The toters (wheeled trash cans) will also be picked up on Thursday if one was supplied to you.

Pollard will supply recycling containers and wheeled trash cans to all residents.  If you do not wish to use the wheeled trash can, please attach a note and leave it out for the next pick up.  Pick up days will stay the same and will begin June 5th.

The Board asks residents to please be patient as our new haulers familiarize themselves with the area.  If you have concerns or suggestions, please contact Village Hall at 895-2199 or Pollard Disposal at 861-6452.
