Leaves must now be bagged for village pick up

When asked what I like best about living in Hinsdale, my stock semi-sarcastic response has been twofold:

1. The trash service. The waste service picks up the trash behind my garage. No muss. No fuss. It’s completely hassle-free. And I’d never have to worry about forgetting to bring the can to the curb.
2. The curbside leaf pick up. Up until now, when the leaves had fallen, it was incumbent on the homeowner to get the leaves to the street-unbagged. Talk about taking the sting out of Fall.

Like all good things, this one is coming to an end (#2 that is). Starting in the fall of 2007, the village of Hinsdale will still pick up leaves curbside. However, this eight week no-additional-charge program requires that the leaves are bagged.

Non-compliance with this new set of rules will result in one warning and fine thereafter.
