Scarce pumpkin smash event

2023 Pumpkin Smash: Green Your Halloween


Saturday, November 4, 2023, 9:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.

Don't trash it, smash it! Sponsored by DuPage County Stormwater Management and coordinated by SCARCE, the Pumpkin Smash is an annual effort to divert pumpkins from landfills on the Saturday after Halloween. SCARCE provides locations for residents to drop off jack-o-lanterns to be composted. A list of drop-off locations can be found at the link below. Last year, over 232 tons of pumpkins were composted!

leaves in street

Yard Waste Sticker Not Needed for November’s Leaves

It is that time of the year again.  The leaves on trees are turning that beautiful color and then falling to the ground.  The Village would like to give a friendly reminder to all our residents. Leaves cannot be blown or disposed of into Village streets or raked into the parkways. This debris could cause stormwater to back up if leaves are blocking the storm sewers.


As a benefit to the residents of Hanover Park, leaf collection in November will not require a yard waste sticker to be collected by Groot Industries. This is during the month of NOVEMBER ONLY and is for LEAVES ONLY. All you must do is rake your leaves, put them into a yard waste bag, and set them at the curb on your normal trash pick-up day.

 All yard waste pick-up is offered until November 25, 2023.  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.

The only work remaining on the project is punch list work, which the contractor is currently addressing. The project will be closed once the punch list items are complete. If there are any concerns, please contact our office immediately since the project will be closed shortly. For a location map, please visit our website.

The new water main work on Plum Tree Lane is now complete and the road improvements have begun.  The concrete curb/gutter and sidewalk have been removed and will be replaced this week.  The street patching has also been completed and next week, the pavement surface will be removed and replaced.

The new water main along Country Farm Road has been installed. Once all testing is completed, it will be put in service. For a location map, please visit our website.
