SCAVENGER SERVICE
In May, the Village Board approved a new scavenger contract with Laidlaw Waste Systems which
includes separate collection of yard waste, Since most of the following information is new,
you may wish to keep this portion of D-TALES as a.reference for the future! •
BEGINNING WITH THE JULY 3rd PICK UP and CONTINUING EACH TUESDAY UNTIL DECEMBER 15th... yard waste
must be placed in specially marked "DEERFIELD RECYCLES" paper bags available for purchase at
local stores. Thus far, the Village Market, True Value and the Jewel in the Commons have agreed
to sell the bags, and we salute them for their cooperation! Income from the sale of the bags
will help defray costs of the collection program. In that way, residents who choose to use the
service will pay a greater portion of the costs.
BUNDLED BRUSH (sticks and branches greater than }" thick) will be collected the FIRST TUESDAY
of each month - April through December. Brush will be collected separately since it must be
chipped and shredded before it can be efficiently composted.
NEXT YEAR yard waste collection will be from APRIL 1st through.DECEMBER 15th.
REGULAR GARBAGE SERVICE will continue on the Tuesday and Friday pick up schedule, with curbside
recycling as-part-of-the-•FRIDAY-pick up•.
The new yard waste program is designed to comply with State of Illinois legislation, effective
July 1st, which requires that ALL yard waste be collected, separated from garbage, and compost-
ed - NOT placed in a landfill. Through a grant from the Illinois Department of Energy, Deer -
field's yard waste will be hauled to Lakewood Forest Preserve as part of a pilot program con-
ducted by Lake County.
THE VILLAGE'S FALL LEAF COLLECTION SERVICE Will be expanded to provide more frequent pick ups.
Watch future D-TALES for Fall Leaf Collection information.
YARD -WASTE AND RECYCLING REMINDERS: •
* Place the "DEERFIELD RECYCLES" bags out for TUESDAY collection by 7:00 A.M.
* Place green recycling.bins out for FRIDAY collection by 7:00 A.M. (preferably in the
morning to eliminate "overnight visitors").
* Make sure newspapers are placed securely in the bin so they won't blow away
* If you need a second bin, it's available for $6.00. Call the.Village Hall'for details.
* Write your address on the white label at one end of the bin. Remember, the bin stays with
your address, even if you move.
* Thanks to the Deerfield Junior Woman's Club, seniors and handicapped residents may have
a cart to wheel the recycling bins to the curb ... free of charge. Call us for details.
AND REMEMBER, TOO .... garbage cans must have tight fitting lids, can't be placed-at--the--curb�,.�4,
before sundown on .the night before pickup, and must be removed from the curb the next day.
RECYCLING UPDATE
---------• CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE AND SAVE •----------
I
Between September 1989 and April 1990, a
total of 781 tons of newspapers, glass and
cans have -been recycled by the 84% of us
participating in the curbside recycling
program. This represents a significant
14.6% diversion from the waste taken to
area landfills. These totals allowed us
to negotiate a favorable contract with
-our scavenger. THANKS TO YOU ...... IT'S
WORKING FOR US!!!

As with any such change in a program which affects all of us, this sounds much more complicated
than it really is! We've tried to simplify it as much as possible and to make it understandable
for you. Sure hope we've succeeded! „
July 1990 Happy 4th of July!
4th of July
If you're planning on attending activities (times and events are printed in D—Tales)-Tuesday
July 3rd or Wednesday the 4th of July, We would like to remind residents that parking is
always at a premium. To help alleviate parking problems we encourage residents to walk or
ride bicycles to activities.
During the 4th of July parade we often encounter a great deal of congestion at the intersection
°of Deerfield road and Waukegan road by people watching the parade. The parade will cover the
length of Deerfield road from Deer Spring park•to Waukegan road. North on Waukegan to Hazel,
and then West on Hazel to Park avenue where it will disperse. Anywhere along the parade route
is a good seat.
V
s always we ask people to be patient with traffic congestion and to exercise caution.
edestrians and bicycle riders only create confusion when crossing in the middle of the block
or among parade participants, not to mention it's dangerous.
One quick reminder about fireworks. Remember that it is against the law to possess firecrackers,
skyrockets, roman candles, or any other fireworks containing any explosive compound.
Fireworks in irresponsible hands can cause injury, fire and property damage. Someone in
possession of fireworks can be ticketed and receive a fine, up to $500.
The hardware for the enhanced 911 system has been purchased. It will
be installed at the police department toward the end of June. Around
July 10th we,will_start._testing the system by calling pay Telephones
and businesses. The system appears to be on schedule and will be
available for residents to use October loth.
Ever since wearing a seat belt became a law, many make sure their
belt is worn to avoid a ticket. However, some people -still don't•
wear a safety belt. There are alot of reasons why they don't but
the most common one is, "It. will never happen to me!"
Unfortunately, it does happen. The probability of being involved
in a motor vehicle injury accident during a 75 year lifetime is
better than 86 percent. However people continue to. ride against
the odds. When worn properly, seat belts prevent about 50% of the
deaths from automobile accidents.
•It only takes a few seconds to fasten a seat belt, but the benefits
are many. They reduce the risk of death due to neck injuries by 100%,
head injuries by 82%, and chest injuries by 53%. "
Automobile accidents cannot always be prevented, but with safety restraints, injuries could
be reduced or eliminated. Whether you're driving around town or on vacation start,the habit
of buckling up today. The life you save could be your own!.
