Fall Leaf Collection & Yard Waste

Autumn is the signal that summer is over and that means an abundance of leaves everywhere. As a benefit to the residents of Hanover Park, leaf collection in the month of November only will not require a yard waste sticker to be collected by Groot Industries. All you have to do is rake your leaves, put them into a recyclable yard waste bag, and set them at the curb on your normal trash pick-up day. The loose-leaf collection is for LEAVES ONLY. Any pile containing grass clippings or other yard material will NOT BE COLLECTED.

The Village would like to give a friendly reminder to all of our residents. Leaves cannot be blown or disposed of into Village streets or raked into the parkways. This debris could cause stormwater drains to clog if leaves are blocking the inlets. Piles of leaves can also freeze once temperatures drop and become a hazard for drivers.

All yard waste pick up is offered until November 26, 2022. After this date, yard waste pick up will not resume until spring. If you have any questions, please contact Groot Industries at 866.782.5161 or the Public Works Department at 630.823.5700.

Impaired Driving is Scary
Hanover Park on the lookout for drunk and drugged driving this Halloween

The Hanover Park Police Department is urging motorists to commit to sober driving this Halloween when children and their families will be walking through neighborhoods after dark in search of candy and spooky fun. If you will be out scaring up a good time, remember to plan for a sober ride home.

 
“Alcohol and marijuana impair not only your ability to drive safely, but also your decision-making skills,” said Deputy Chief Victor DiVito. “That’s why it's so important to know how you’ll get home before you leave for the party. Plan ahead to help keep yourself and others safe.”
 
The Hanover Park Police Department urges everyone to follow these simple tips to help keep our roads safe this Halloween: 

• Plan a safe way to get home before you attend a party. You can designate a sober driver, take public transportation, use your favorite ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get home.
• Walking while impaired can be just as dangerous as driving impaired. Designate a sober friend to walk you home.
• If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforcement as soon as it is safe to do so.
• If you see an impaired person about to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely. 

The Halloween enforcement campaign is funded by federal highway safety dollars administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
