Yard waste pickup resumes April 1

Yard waste collection in Warrenville runs from April 1 through November 30. To set your yard waste out for pickup, just attach a yard waste sticker to either: 

• Yard waste bags
• Your own 32-gallon rigid container

You can buy stickers at: 

• City Hall – 3S258 Manning Avenue
• Hometown Pantry – 3S029 Route 59
• Ace Hardware – 2S541 Route 59

Want a more convenient option? You can subscribe to a yard waste toter service through Groot (630-892-9294). Bonus: the toter service also lets you include food scraps for composting!
