CART REFRESH STARTING. IMPORTANT! Groot will start delivering brand new landfill and recycling carts next week (July 25-29). Old carts will be removed the following week (Aug. 1-5).

If you have any issues, call Groot at (877) 404-7668. This replacement is part of the Village's updated residential waste, recycling, and composting program.
