During the months of October and November, the Public Works Department offers residents convenient disposal of their fall leaves on a weekly basis. Leaf collection will begin on Monday, September 30 and conclude on Wednesday, November 27. 

Elk Grove Village is divided into nine (9) collection sections and each section receives nine (9) leaf collection dates. The scheduled collection dates and a map depicting the section numbers are shown below.

During the week of the Thanksgiving, the sections regularly scheduled for Thursday and Friday will be shifted to the first part of the week.  Please see the map below for exact day. 

Important Program Rules:

• Leaves should be raked into the street after 3:00 p.m. the day before collection and before 7:00 a.m. the day of collection.
  
  
• Only rake leaves into the street. Grass, branches, and other yard waste are NOT permitted and will damage Village equipment.
