Yard Waste Stickers To Double In Cost
Village of Niles yard waste stickers will increase from $1 to $2 beginning Sunday, June 1.
The $1 rate was established in 1995 and the increase only partially offsets the higher cost of yard waste disposal. A profit is not generated from the sale of yard waste stickers, according to village officials.
Residents are required to purchase a sticker and place it on the handle of a designated 32-gallon garbage can, or residents may place the sticker on any standard yard waste bag.
Residents can place an unlimited amount of yard waste at the curb on their regular garbage pickup date, provided a sicker is attached to each container/bag.
Niles officials are encouraging residents to purchase some extra stickers before June 1 at the $1 rate. Stickers purchased before June 1 will not expire and may be used for future services.
Yard waste stickers are available for purchase at the following locations:
* Village of Niles Administration Building

* Dominick's Finer Foods, 6931 Dempster St. in Morton Grove
