Noah Levy: Highland Park Illinois Spring Clean-Up Program

Highland Park Illinois Spring Clean -Up Program is soon approaching.

Veolia Environmental Waste Services will be conducting their annual Spring Clean-Up Program for the City of Highland Park on four consecutive Saturdays, beginning May 1 and ending May 22.  This is a wonderful opportunity for Highland Park Residents  to declutter and get rid of JUNK.  Every year it amazes me how much "stuff" we accumulate to put out at the curb.

 As a REALTOR in Highland Park - I think that this annual Spring Clean-Up Program is fabulous for those who are selling a home and for those who  have bought a home.   If you are thinking about moving it is a great time to get rid of all of the things that you have kept throughout the years that you no longer need.  For the buyers who have just moved in - get rid of the boxes and wrapping supplies and of course "those extras" that you have no idea why you actually moved with.

Items for collection may be placed at the curb up to seven days prior to the collection date, but residents are encouraged to set out items as close to their collection day as is convenient. Often times, your garbage is taken prior to the actual Spring Clean-Up day by people who are driving/walking by your home.  As it is said "One Man's trash is another Man's treasure!" 

In order to guarantee collection, all items for collection must be placed at the curb by no later than 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.   Spring Clean-Up will coincide with residents primary garbage collection day (the primary collection day is the day when both garbage and recycling are collected).
