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.
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.
