What's inside
Village services, utilities, refuse & recycling
Water is billed by the Village every two months (Water Billing, 847-368-5520). Refuse, recycling, and yard waste go out together once a week via Groot (800-244-1977) - collection day depends which of the Village's four quadrants you're in (split by Oakton St. and Arlington Heights Rd.), so check the schedule. The vehicle sticker and dog license programs were both eliminated in the 2024 budget, so that's two less errands than older guides mention.
Get an Arlington Heights Memorial Library card
Register online for temporary or full access, or bring a photo ID with your current address to the Checkout Desk for a full-service card. If your ID address isn't current, a recent utility bill, postmarked mail, lease, or tax bill also works. Resident cards don't expire while you live in the library district. Circulation: 847-392-0100.
Register for Arlington Heights Park District programs
Most residents set up one household account, then register for pools, rec classes, and seasonal programs individually — browse the current program guide to get started.
Arlington Heights School District 25 (elementary & middle school)
7 elementary and 2 middle schools serve about 5,500 students — confirm your specific address, since school boundaries don't always follow village lines. District office: (847) 758-4900.
Township High School District 214 (high school)
John Hersey High School, Arlington Heights' own, is part of District 214 - the same district that serves Mount Prospect's Prospect High School and several other neighboring towns — confirm by address rather than assuming.
Frequently asked questions
How current is this guide?
It's regenerated automatically from the village, library, and park district's own listings, typically several times a week - not a one-time write-up that goes stale.
Is this every event or business, or just what's listed here?
Only what the linked public sources publish. For full details, hours, or anything not listed here, check the official page each item links to.
How do I see what's happening in Arlington Heights this specific weekend?
See the weekend view, which only shows items with a known date in the coming Friday-Sunday.
Can I add an event, or suggest a business for the directory?
Yes - submit an event and a person reviews it before it goes live, or a business owner can inquire about a listing.
