As we clean our properties of yard waste including leaves, tree branches, and landscape waste the Village of Homer Glen is encouraging residents to take advantage of the yard waste services provided by NuWay Disposal. As a safe alternative to burning, all yard waste can be picked up on your regular pickup day from April 1st through November 30th, at no extra cost.

Burning creates environmental and health repercussions which can be an unpleasant experience for residents who suffer from asthma and other breathing disorders. Please be considerate of your neighbors and follow simple rules to minimize the danger and nuisance of the resulting smoke and damage to structures and property.

The following information is provided by Commonwealth Edison:
ComEd is committed to providing safe, reliable electric service. Vegetation Management plays a large part in that commitment. ComEd’s Vegetation Management Department has scheduled maintenance tree trimming in the surrounding area. This work is necessary because trees interfering with electric wires can damage equipment and cause service outages and safety hazards.

Trimming is scheduled to start in the near future, and will be performed by a qualified line clearance contractor using qualified utility arborists. There is no charge for this professional service.

If you have any questions regarding this process, call 1-800 Edison-1
(1-800-334-7661) and ask to speak with a Vegetation Management Representative, or visit their website at www.ComEd.com/trees.
