Fall Leaf Collection Begins Soon
Beginning later this month, Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) will collect loose leaf piles placed at the parkway as part of the Village's fall leaf collection program. A reminder that leaves should remain on your lawn and not on the curb. Glencoe's leaves are taken to the Chicago Botanic Garden, which mulches the material on-site and uses it to fertilize the Garden's planting beds. Learn more »

  • For each property, only one sign per candidate or issue may be displayed.
