By request of the Village of Vernon Hills, the current issue of VHPD's "Observer" newsletter has been posted here. Feel free to contact the Vernon Hills Police Department with any questions or comments.
The Village of Vernon Hills in cooperation with the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) will sponsor an electronics disposal on April 30th. The event will be held at the Vernon Hills Public Works facility located at 490 Greenleaf Drive from 8:00AM to 11:00 AM. For disposal of household chemical waste and recycling information in Lake County please contact SWALCO .
IMPORTANT! Please keep all vehicles off of the streets and out of guest parking spaces during this event. Our snow plow company will be using guest parking spaces as primary snow disposal locations.
As mentioned in the Chicago Tribune article below, it is highly unlikely that snow plows will be able to keep up with the anticipated downfall. Be extremely cautious driving and walking on the streets during this event! National Weather Service - Watches, Warnings & Advisories National Weather Service - Chicago Area Forecast WGN WeatherCenter --------- Chicago Tribune Article Forecast: 'Potentially life-threatening' blizzard The National Weather Service has issued an unusually dire blizzard watch, calling a storm expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon over much of northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana "dangerous, multifaceted and potentially life-threatening." All told, forecasters expect at least a foot of snow over much of the watch area. White-out conditions are expected at times Tuesday night, with snowfall rates of at least 2 to 3 inches per hour possible with northeast winds of 25 to 40 mph and even stronger gusts. Localized totals in excess of 18 inches are possible.

Plows will be unable to keep up with the downfall. Haven't disposed of your Christmas tree yet? An earth friendly Christmas tree disposal program is available from the Lake County Forest Preserve District. The LCFPD offers Christmas tree recycling at several drop off sites until January 31st, 2011. The closest drop off location to Sarah's Glen is at the Half Day Forest Preserve. For more information on this program, click here.
If you are disposing of your tree through Veolia, only put the tree out on the specific day they are collecting Christmas trees. If you miss this day, do not put or leave your tree on the curb. Your only option will be to take it to a recycling or disposal location |
