The Village of Orion, Illinois

Landscape Waste Site Open For Storm Damage

 

The President and Board of Trustees have opened the village's landscape waste site for storm debris in the aftermath of the severe weather of July 21st.  The site will be open through August 4th.

 

Residents can also set their storm debris at the curb in neat piles.  Village employees will pick up the debris if cut in reasonable lengths no longer than five feet. 

 

 

 

Village Board Asks for Public Opinion

 

If you haven't had an opportunity to address the village board regarding the proposed recycling plan, please take the time to do so by phone or email.  You can contact Village Hall staff, the mayor, or any board member.

 

Due to the power outage on July 21st there was little discussion at that evening's board meeting about the issue.  Discussion will resume on August 4th at 7:30 p.m., and village residents are encouraged to attend the board meeting to voice their opinions. 

 

The proposed plan would cost each resident $2.60 per month for weekly curbside pickup of recyclable goods.  This cost would increase slightly each year, so at the end of the proposed five year contract residents would be paying $3.00 per month for the service. 

 

 

Don't Forget About Our Calendar!

 

In the upper righthand corner of our homepage you'll find a tab marked Calendar.  Click on the tab and preview each month to find fun and exciting events happening in Central Park.  The next movie and concert is scheduled for August 13th. 

 

 

Recycle Bin

 

Though it is understandable that frustrations mount when you tote your recyclables to the bin only to find it filled to the brim, please do not leave any items outside the container.

 

The bin is emptied every Friday, and an additional bin has recently been added for your convenience.
