Fall Leaf Collection Begins Tomorrow
The Village’s fall leaf collection program begins today. As collection gets underway, please keep the following reminders in mind:
• Place leaves in the street by the curb and away from parked cars the day before your regularly scheduled street sweeping day.
• Leaf piles are for LEAVES ONLY. Grass clippings, branches, shrub trimmings, garden materials, pumpkins, hay, straw, wood, rocks, dirt and other landscaping debris will not be collected.
• Prohibited materials may prevent collection. If prohibited materials are found in a leaf pile, the pile will not be collected, and the resident will receive a door tag. Continued violations may result in fines up to $750.
• If snow is expected, keep leaves on the parkway until snowplow operations are complete. Leaves placed out after the end of the Village’s collection season must be bagged for pickup through Groot’s yard waste collection program. Fees may apply.
📍 View the Street Sweeping & Leaf Pick-Up Map: Village Maps – The Village of Morton Grove, Illinois
The Village’s goal is to provide safe and efficient leaf removal throughout the community. Please exercise caution around Public Works staff and collection equipment as crews work to clear leaves from our parkways and streets.
Thank you for helping us keep the collection process safe and efficient for our residents and staff.
Leaf Collection Reminder #7: Snow Comes First
If snow is in the forecast, please keep leaves on the parkway until snowplow operations are complete.
Once snowplowing is finished, you can place your leaves back out for collection.

Today, we remember Officer Barry Shalin and honor his life, service, and sacrifice.
On October 9, 1989, Officer Shalin made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the Morton Grove community. While conducting a traffic stop, he was struck by an intoxicated driver.
Officer Shalin served the Morton Grove Police Department with dedication and distinction for 19 years. He was just 41 years old.
October 9 remains a solemn day for our department and our community—a time to reflect on Officer Shalin’s service and the sacrifices made by those who serve.
End of Watch: October 9, 1989
Officer Barry Shalin | Star #109
We will never forget.
