“Working Together For a Better Community”.

Leyden Township provides services and programs for the residents of the unincorporated area. Our first priority is to provide water service and road maintenance to the residents of the unincorporated area.  We also provide special services to the senior citizens and the disabled residents of the unincorporated area.  Qualified residents can enroll in our snow plowing and grass cutting program’s for a nominal fee.

 

The Highway Department is responsible for roads in the unincorporated area.  Since this area is not part of a village or a city, the Township is responsible for the roads, and Cook County is responsible for building and zoning. 

 

BRANCH PICK-UP

Branch Pick-up Reminders:

Branch pick-up is offered from April 1st through November 1st, weather permitting.  Residents should place branches on the parkway in a neat bundle.  They should not be more than six feet in length or four inches in diameter.  The Highway Department will not pick up whole trees or trees cut by a private contractor. 

 

What will NOT be picked up:

·       Small hedge or pine clippings

·       Yard waste or brush in containers

·       Brush or branches with thorns

·       Stumps or tree roots

 

How to stack the brush:

Neatly stack the branches in one direction with the butt end toward the street.   No lumber, wire, rope, or other material may be included with branches.  Please do not mix trash and other debris with branches.  Keep them separate or they will not be picked up.
