12 Public Safety Services Learn more about these services at www.villageofglencoe.org or by calling (847) 835-4112 Public education programs and community safety services are the foundation of the Public Safety Department’s partnership with the community. The department offers several educational programs and services, including: • Glencoe Cares – In partnership with Family Service of Glencoe, Public Safety provides Glencoe seniors with additional support to ensure that needs and longterm wishes are being met. • Block Parties – Invite the fire department to your next block party. If available, crews stop by with our fire apparatus. • Station Tours – Schedule a station tour for a fun and educational outing for your group. • Home Safety Surveys – Our officers will be glad to drop by and offer advice on how to keep your home safe from fire hazards and prevent crimes. • Blood Pressure Checks – Stop by the Public Safety lobby to have your blood pressure checked by a state certified Emergency Medical Technician. • House Watch – If you’re leaving your home for more than a day or two, let Public Safety know and we’ll have officers walk the perimeter of your home every few days to ensure it is secure. • Operation Reassurance – Operation Reassurance (also known as the Illinois Premise Alert Program) is designed to provide emergency response personnel with information about people with special needs. If an emergency occurs, the personnel will know about the special circumstance as they arrive on scene. The information is kept confidential. Families, caregivers or the person with the disability or special needs may provide this information. • Child Safety Seat Inspection Program – Statistics show that four out of every five Child Safety Seats are improperly installed and could lead to serious injury in an accident. Glencoe Public Safety has trained and certified Child Safety Seat Technicians who can instruct residents how to properly install child safety seats. They will also inspect an installed safety seat to make sure it is properly installed. This service is provided for Glencoe residents only. Inspections are performed by appointment only during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. • Drug Collection and Disposal – In partnership with the Save a Star Drug Awareness Foundation, Public Safety offers a drug collection unit open to the public, no questions asked. Safely dispose of old, unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs in the Public Safety lobby at Village Hall, during Village Hall business hours Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please note that we cannot accept any liquids or syringes. Village Utilities Water and Sewer To set up or end water service, please call the Finance Department at (847) 835-4113. The Public Works Department is responsible for operating the Village’s water utility, which produces and distributes drinking water to all Village water customers. This includes maintaining 58 miles of water main, valves and fire hydrants, as well as operating the Village’s water treatment plant (which produces our drinking water) and water storage facilities (which support in water delivery by ensuring that adequate water volumes and pressures reach our customers). The Village also maintains a network of nearly 40 miles of public sanitary sewer mains and 70 miles of public storm sewer mains. As a water consumer in Glencoe, your quarterly water and sewer payments are invested directly back into the operation and maintenance of our community’s water production and distribution systems.

Lakeshore Recycling Systems Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) provides, garbage, recycling and yard waste collection services to Village of Glencoe residents. To start or change service, report missing collection or inquire about billing, please call LRS at (773) 685-8811. Garbage and Recycling Holiday Service Schedule When a holiday falls on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, regular garbage and recycling services will resume one day later than normal (i.e. if New Year’s Day is on Monday, Monday collection will be Tuesday and Tuesday collection will be Wednesday, with regular service resuming on Thursday). If a holiday falls on a Wednesday from April – December, yard waste collection will be delayed by one day, but garbage and recycling collection will not be impacted. LRS observes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Garbage Collection Look up your primary garbage and recycling collection day at www.villageofglencoe. org/maps Village of Glencoe residents have the option of selecting from back door or curbside garbage collection, with pick-up either once or twice week by LRS. Curbside cart size options are 65-or 95-gallons. Topof-drive service options are a 65-gallon cart, or residents can choose to use their own independently-purchased containers which can be no larger than 44-gallons with handles for lifting and tight fitting covers (maximum of three). The 44-gallon containers will not be collected if they are in a gated area or enclosed structure. For residents who are physically unable to bring garbage to the curb, LRS offers a Garbage Collection Hardship Program. Learn about this program and how to apply by calling LRS. Garbage must be out for collection by 7 a.m., but please do not place items at the curb more than 24 hours in advance. Recycling Collection Recycling is also collected by LRS. Pickup is once a week on residents’ primary garbage collection day. Place 95-gallon recycling carts at the curb, with handle facing your house, no later than 7 a.m. on the day of collection. Mix all recyclable materials together in the cart (no separation is necessary with single stream recycling). Please do not bag recycling materials— items should be loose in the cart. Combined Yard Waste and Food Scrap Collection Yard waste is collected on Wednesdays beginning mid-April through mid- December Glencoe’s new combined curbside yard waste and composting service with LRS allows residents to dispose of compostable materials such as fruit and vegetable peels, egg shells, coffee grounds, paper napkins and yard waste in a biodegradable paper yard waste bags, or curbside bins between April and mid-December. There are two options for using the service: subscription (annual payment) and volume-based (stickers). Please note, the composting service is available if you do not need yard waste collection. Yard Waste Subscription: Yard waste subscribers may place unlimited bags or bundles of combined food scrap and landscape waste material at the curb each week on Wednesdays from mid- April through mid-December. The annual subscription fee is included on your quarterly bill and does not require yard waste stickers. To subscribe contact LRS at (773) 685-8811. Yard Waste Stickers: Residents not subscribing to the annual combined food scrap and yard waste collection subscription service, must affix stickers to each biodegradable paper yard waste bag, garbage can no larger than 44-gallons, or bundle of branches/brush. Stickers may be purchased at the Village Hall or Grand Food Center. Semi-Annual Clean-Up Days The Village offers residents two Clean- Up Days, one in May and one in October of each year. Clean-up days are an opportunity for residents to dispose of “bulk items” that are not generally included in garbage collection (furniture, mattress, carpet, boxes, etc.). However, hazardous waste (paint, gas, chemicals, etc.), electronics (computers, stereos, etc.), building materials (wood, lumber, drywall, etc.) and landscape waste (trees, branches, logs, leaves, etc.) are not included in this program. While the Village is happy to offer this service, we encourage residents to consider alternatives to the landfill before setting items at the curb. To learn about the many recycling and reuse options available to Glencoe residents, view the Village’s Recycling and Composting Guide at www.villageofglencoe.org/recycling. Special Collections and Supplemental Pick-Up Services If you need bulk item collection outside of the Village’s two Clean-Up Days, LRS provides special pick-up options. A special pick-up is for anything other than your regular household waste (furniture, mattress, carpet, boxes, etc.). As with the Clean-Up Day program – this program does not include hazardous waste, building materials and landscape waste. This program does include white goods and appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.). A supplemental pick-up can also be scheduled if you anticipate having an event that will generate more garbage than your regular container can hold. To schedule a special collection or supplemental pick-up for your household, please call LRS at (773) 685-8811. 24 hour minimum notice is required. All special collection materials must be brought to the curb and must weigh no more than 50 pounds. Residents are permitted to fill the same number of garbage containers as once a week pickup.
