Village of Winnetka Spring Clean Up

Spring Cleanup is April 28 to May 1
Winnetka’s Annual Spring Clean-up will be held April 28 – May 1.  Scheduled pickups are: Monday, April 28: north of Tower Road; Tuesday, April 29: Tower Road to Pine Street; Wednesday, April 30: Pine Street to Willow Road; Thursday, May 1: south of Willow Road.
The main purpose of this annual rubbish pickup is to reduce fire hazards in the home.  Public Works employees will remove from the parkway anything that two men can reasonably lift into a truck.  Banned electronics, construction materials/debris, yard waste, logs, dirt, stone, and liquids such as paint will not be picked up.  Items should be placed on residential parkways the evening before the scheduled pickup, or no later than 7:00 AM the day of the pickup. There will be no call-backs if the material is not on the parkway by the scheduled time. Trucks may collect areas in advance of the posted schedule if time permits, but will return to the area as scheduled.
Electronics such as televisions, computers, printers, all computer peripherals and mobile phones are banned by law from landfills, and must be recycled.  These electronics are accepted for drop-off on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and Thursdays from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM at the Winnetka Public Works Yards, 1390 Willow Road.
This is an excellent opportunity to clean out your attic, basement, and garage - especially of combustible materials - in order to make a significant contribution to community fire safety.  If you have questions, please call the Public Works Department at 847-716-3568 Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM.
