Happy New Year Lombard

The Village of Lombard is wishing you and your family a very happy new year!

All Village offices will be closed on Friday, December 31, in observance of the New Year holiday. Village offices will reopen on Monday, January 3, 2022. Please note, the garbage pickup schedule will not be impacted as New Year's Day will fall on Saturday.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over This Holiday Season

Lombard Police have extra enforcements on the road, cracking down on impaired drivers. Please have fun and enjoy the New Years holiday, but remember to stay safe and NEVER drive impaired!

Keep these tips in mind to help ensure a safe and joyful holiday weekend:

Before you head to the party, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride-sharing service to get home safely.
If you see an impaired driver on the road, pull over and call 911.
Have a friend who is about to drive impaired? Take their keys and help them get home safely.
Always buckle up!

Wrapping up the Holidays

As you begin to wrap up the holidays, Public Works shares some reminders:

Free Holiday Tree Pick Up Jan. 3 - 14
Residents may place holiday trees, free of tinsel and decorations, at their curbsides, January 3-14, for free disposal.

Light Recycling Through Jan. 17
Old or unwanted holiday lights may be dropped off in a bin at Lombard Public Works, 1051 S. Hammerschmidt Avenue, to be recycled by Elgin Recycling. The light collection will run through January 17th. Lights should be placed in the bin located in front of the building anytime (24/7). Please remove plastic ornamentals and bags from the wiring to prevent entangling in the processing machinery.

Parkside Avenue Road Closure Update

Parkside Ave between Main St and Charlotte St will remain closed by the Holladay Construction Company through Jan. 7.

A detour is in place directing motorists around the block on Charlotte St, Maple St and Main St. Access to the commuter parking spaces and the three residential driveways remain accessible from Charlotte St as “local traffic.”

Village's Winter Blood Drive: Jan. 11

January is National Blood Donor Appreciation Month and Lombard's winter blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 11, 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Yorktown outside of Von Maur and from 1:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. at the First Church of Lombard Fellowship Hall, 220 S. Main Street.

All donors will receive a $10 e-gift card that can be used at over 40 stores this holiday season. Donors from now until Jan. 9, will be entered in a drawing to win a new SUV.

Every two seconds, someone needs blood. Make that New Year’s resolution – be someone’s hero - save a life – become a blood donor.

COVID-19 Update

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has announced that it is adopting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendation to reduce the number of days for isolation and quarantine for the general public. Earlier this week, the DuPage County Health Department also released a statement in support of CDC’s recommendations.

The CDC updated its recommendation to decrease isolation for people who test positive from 10 days to 5 days if they DO NOT have symptoms but they must continue to mask for 5 days after isolation ends. These recommendations apply to all individuals, including those who are unvaccinated or are not boosted even though they are eligible.

The CDC also recommended reducing quarantine from 10 days to 5 days for those who are close contacts to a COVID-19 case and DO NOT have symptoms, but individuals should continue to mask for 5 days after quarantine ends. Individuals who have received two doses of either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson, as well as their booster DO NOT need to quarantine after close contact with a case, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.
