Holiday Recycling Reminders

As the season begins to wind down, Lombard Public Works encourages residents to recycle and dispose of seasonal items responsibly. Here’s how you can help keep our community clean and green:

Free Holiday Tree Pick Up

From January 5–16, residents can place holiday trees at their curbsides for free disposal. Please ensure all tinsel, ornaments, and decorations are removed before placing the tree out for pickup.

Holiday Light Recycling 

Don’t toss those old or unwanted holiday lights, extension cords, or scrap wiring—recycle them instead! A convenient collection bin is located at the Public Works facility, 1051 Hammerschmidt Avenue. The last day to drop off items is Monday, January 19.

Winter and Overnight Parking Reminders 

With the holiday season underway and as family and friends come into town, the Village of Lombard asks residents to be mindful of street parking rules. 

Overnight on-street parking between 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. is not allowed in Lombard, per Village ordinance. However, residents may request a temporary exemption of overnight parking at www.frontlinepss.com/lombard. Please note that overnight requests will not be granted if weather conditions include a 1” snowfall. 

New "Coffee with the Village President" Series 

The Village is launching a new community engagement series, "Coffee with the Village President," and invites residents to attend the first event on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Lombard Village Hall, located at 255 E. Wilson Avenue. 

This casual, drop-in gathering gives residents the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas directly with Village President Anthony Puccio about Village projects, initiatives, and community topics. The event is free and open to all, with coffee and light refreshments provided.
