With snow already upon us, it is important that Village of Bridgeview residents remember key information regarding snowplowing and street cleaning as we work to keep our streets clear and clean.
- Cars may not be parked on the street when 1 or more inches of snowfall are expected. Parking on the street prevents snowplows from clearing the roads properly.
- All garbage must be placed on the curb—never the street. Snowplows and street sweepers will not be able to do their jobs if there are objects in their paths.
- When placing waste on the curb, please ensure the waste is neatly arranged and manageable for the dedicated workers helping keep our neighborhood clean.
- Tree limbs, branches, and similar yard waste must be in bundles in 4-foot lengths by 2 feet in height, bound with rope or twine, and not exceeding 50 lbs. Disassembled swing-sets and playground equipment, metal, and wood must also be in pieces weighing less than 50 lbs. each and in segments no more than 4 feet in length and 2 feet in diameter. The same is true for carpet rolls and do-it-yourself home improvement materials (wood; drywall; paneling), which must be bundled and tied for easy collection. Loose material will not be collected and can disrupt garbage collection, street sweeping, and snowplowing if it ends up in the street.
It is important to keep our streets clear and clean for our residents and our police and fire departments. Snowplows will run after every snowfall of 1 inch or greater. Based on need and the weather, the street sweeper may run up to 5 days a week. Together we can keep our community safe and clean throughout the winter season and beyond.
