Halloween 2020 

The Village  has historically provided guidance on trick-or-treating hours for Halloween along with certain safety precautions. This provides residents with notice as to when trick-or-treaters will be in the neighborhoods. While we recommend against trick-or-treating this year, the following are guidelines for those choosing to trick-or-treat. Halloween 2020 comes with extra precautions.  The Village has established trick-or-treat hours from 4-8 p.m. on October 31st with the understanding that parents and residents should utilize their own discretion to determine if trick-or-treating is an “at-risk” activity.  To assist, the Village has developed guidance for participation in the tradition. The CDC considers trick-or-treating a high-risk activity.

Pumpkin Compost Event 

The Libertyville Sustainability Commission, in partnership with SWALCO and Groot will host a one day pumpkin compost event on November 7th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Adler Pool parking lot located at 1500 N. Milwaukee Avenue. Drop off your pumpkins, squashes or gourds in a dumpster provided by Groot. All candles, yarn, plastic or other decorations must be removed. Why compost? Composting reduces waste that is sent to landfills, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and reduces the amount of water in landfills.
