Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Winnebago
Leaf collection. Gill's Freeport Disposal collects the village's yard waste. In one recent fall the village announced Gill's had extended pickup through the week of November 25, past the date printed in the newsletter, so check the village site before the last leaves come down. source
We could not find the village's own leaf-burning rule online. Ask Village Hall before burning anything.
Whatever the local schedule, Illinois law keeps leaves out of the garbage: since 1990, landscape waste can't be mixed with trash bound for a landfill and must go out in biodegradable containers (415 ILCS 5/22.22). So gutter debris in Winnebago goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
