Halloween Drive Safety 

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
Lombard Officers are out in full force this Halloween season, cracking down on impaired drivers. If you plan on drinking, plan on a sober ride home. Help keep our streets safe and drive sober Lombard! 

Halloween Safety Tips and Reminders 
To help keep Lombard safe this Halloween, the Lombard Police Department recommend limiting trick-or-treating hours from 3 to 7 p.m. Costumes should also be reflective, and children should be supervised and reminded to never go into the home of a stranger or accept rides. 

Fall Leaf Reminders 

Clearing Storm Sewer Grates 
While the Village is actively working to prevent blocked sewers, residents are reminded that cleaning debris from street sewer grates near their home or on their property will help promote drainage and could prevent flooding situations. 

Free Six-Week Fall Leaf Pick Up Program Begins November 4
Lombard’s annual six-week free leaf pick-up for residents begins Monday, Nov. 4 and ends Friday, Dec. 13, when all yard waste collection will cease 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 need of stickers. Please note: the leaf collection does not include bundled brush, which will still require a sticker. 

Proposed Property Tax Levy 

A public hearing was held on Oct. 17 regarding the 2020 Property Tax Levy increase. If approved, this increase will equate on average to $14.21 for a $300,000 home. The item will be considered at upcoming Village Board Meetings on Nov. 7 and Nov. 21. For more information, including a video of the public hearing, visit villageoflombard.org/propertytaxes.
