Village Budget and Tax Levy Approved

The Lombard Village Board recently approved the 2023 Budget and 2022 Tax Levy. This balanced budget continues the Village’s commitments by efficiently allocating resources to public safety, investment in infrastructure, community development, and enhancing the lives of Lombard residents.

The $105.8 million 2023 budget provides funding for day-to-day operations and maintenance, grants, insurance, pensions, legal obligations, fleet, water and sewer operations, facilities and infrastructure (capital improvement program budget). Additionally, the owner of a $300,000 home will pay $561.74 in property taxes to the Village, up from $534.33 the previous year, or an increase of $2.28 per month. These property taxes pay for all of the services provided in the budget.

Holiday Light Recycling

Do you have old, broken or unwanted holiday lights? The Village of Lombard has partnered with Elgin Recycling to offer free holiday light recycling through Jan. 16th, 2023.

An outdoor collection bin located outside of Lombard Public Works, 1051 S. Hammerschmidt Ave, is available at any hour of the day to recycle your old holiday lights, extension cords and scrap wiring.

Please remove any ornaments and bags to prevent entangling in the processing machinery. Plastic bags and other films should also never be included in curbside recycling for the same reason.

Free Leaf Collection & Yard Waste Program End Dec. 16th

Lombard’s annual six-week free leaf pick-up for residents will be available through Friday, December 16th, when all yard waste collection will end for the year.

During this time, residential property owners may place an unlimited amount of paper bags containing only leaves curbside on their normal Waste Management collection day without stickers.
