January is National Radon Action Month

January is National Radon Action Month, an annual observance that focuses on increasing awareness of the health risk of radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer. In connection with this observance, the Village of Lombard encourages residents to check the radon levels of their homes in January or during the winter months.

Village Offices Closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Village Offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Emergency services will remain available 24/7. Offices will reopen for regular business hours on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Please note: Recycling and garbage collection will not be impacted by this holiday.

Free Holiday Light Recycling Ends Jan. 16th

Drop off any old, broken or unwanted holiday lights in the collection bin outside of Lombard Public Works (1051 S. Hammerschmidt Ave) for free recycling through January 16th.

Please remove any plastic ornamentals and bags from the lights and chords to prevent entangling in the processing machinery—similar to curbside recycling.

Free Holiday Tree Pick Up Jan. 3 - 13
Residents may place holiday trees, free of tinsel and decorations, at their curbsides, January 3-13, for free disposal.

Prevent Thefts with the 9 PM Routine

To help deter thefts, the Lombard Police Department is reminding residents to remove valuables from their vehicles, lock their cars and homes, and turn on exterior lights as part of their 9 p.m. routine every night.

Car burglaries have been on the rise in recent months, with most of these crimes focusing on unlocked cars. The Lombard Police Department is encouraging residents never to leave valuables in cars and never to leave cars unlocked. Ensuring that these steps are taken each night may help decrease the chance of criminals gaining access to vehicles.
