1. How should residents handle yard waste?

Grass, leaves and garden waste must be handled separately from other waste for pick up by Advanced Disposal and disposal in a composting landfill. Customers must collect yard waste in approved biodegradable paper bags and affix a sticker to the bag denoting that the collection fee was paid or enroll in Advanced's subscription landscape waste collection service. For more information on both options, visit the Refuse and Recycling Page.

2. How do we connect/disconnect our water? What are the current water and sanitary sewer rates?

People moving in or out of Northbrook must notify the Northbrook Water Department to update water billing information. For information, call Village Hall at 847-664-4171. Water is billed quarterly. Current rates are available at this link.

4. Does the village have any lawn sprinking restrictions?

In order to conserve a precious resource (also keeps your water bills lower) there is a restriction on lawn sprinkling. From May 15 to September 15 each year, no lawn sprinkling is permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This restriction does not apply to plantings or new sod, but is enforced by the issuance of tickets for violations.
