Village to change garbage collection contractor New day, provider will begin in October By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Down on the farm
Reid Leukhardt, 2, gets up close and personal with a new wooly friend as mother, Ryan, watches during the second annual Down On the Farm get together held at the Antioch Township Hall, 1625 Deep Lake Rd., Lake Villa, on Friday. In addition to the petting zoo complete with sheep, ducks, geese, goats, and a baby piglet, the event offered young attendees from the area a chance to ride ponies, have a tour of the grounds in a tractor train, get a souvenir balloon art creation, have their faces painted, and eat lunch.
Starting Oct. 1, Village of Antioch residents will have garbage pick up on Thursdays and the trucks will bear the name Groot. Holiday pick up will be Friday and cart delivery is scheduled for the end of September. After many years of service from Waste Management, the Antioch Village Board decided to change service providers to Groot. In a telephone interview, village Trustee Ed Macek explained, “There were items in the contract that Waste Management proposed that did not serve our residents well.” The changes shifted liability for negligence concerning injury claims and damage to public and private property from Waste Management to the village. Macek said that would cost taxpayers more. “When mailboxes were knocked over by trucks in the winter, we would have to pay to repair.” Trustee Jay Jozwiak was dissatisfied with shifting the cost of waste receptacles from the company to the residents. Village officials expect to see the same level of service moving forward with Groot, and expanded services in certain areas. Groot will continue to provide residential solid waste and recycling services, as well as landscape waste col-
lection, brush pickup, leaf vacuuming, Christmas tree pickup, spring clean-up day, and bulk item pickup. Expanded services include a recycling cart upgrade at any time during the contract and landscape waste pickup through the end of November. Electronics recycling pickup will also be available for a $35 fee when scheduled in advance. Magazine debuts The village, Antioch school District 34 and Community High School District 117 have joined forces to produce the Connections Magazine, which will appear on a quarterly basis. This replaces the village newsletter and the plan is to include more information about the village and other governmental agencies to reach a wider audience. There are plans to include other municipalities and school districts. This first issue has only the village and Antioch schools, since the schools desired to see the first edition published prior to the beginning of school this year. Connections magazine is an effort by all involved to continue cooperation and improve services while keeping costs low through cost sharing. A link to the fall edition of the magazine is available on the village’s website at www. antioch.il.gov.
