News & Events

New Street Cleaning Signage and Schedule

New parking signage is being installed throughout Evanston to reflect the City’s updated street cleaning schedule. Improvements to street cleaning operations include shorter windows for parking restrictions on most residential streets, and signage listing the specific day and time frame parking is restricted (i.e. 1st Thursday of Month, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Parking enforcement for the 2016 season will begin on Mon., May 2 to allow for installation of the new signage. Residents are asked to abide by the 2016 street cleaning map and schedule, which are available online. Text message and email notifications to remind residents of street cleaning continue to be available.

Yard Waste Collection Begins April 4

Weekly yard waste pick-ups begin on Mon., April 4 and continue on residents' regular refuse collection day through Thurs., Dec. 1. Residents can dispose of yard waste in paper yard waste bags affixed with a City of Evanston yard waste sticker, or purchase a 95-gallon reusable yard waste cart and pay an annual fee.

2016 Alley Maintenance Schedule Now Available

Evanston’s 2016 alley maintenance schedule is now available. Each year, starting in the spring, Evanston’s more than 300 unpaved alleys are periodically graded by the City. This is done to eliminate potholes and ruts caused by vehicles, weather and other factors. The process improves travel and reduces puddling. View the 2016 Alley Maintenance Map to find out when your alley is next scheduled to be graded, weather permitting.

Bulk Trash Pick-ups Begin April 22

The City's Public Works Agency offers the FREE removal of up to six cubic yards of bulk garbage twice per year. Spring bulk trash pick-ups will take place on Fridays, April 22 through May 13, and are scheduled according to residents' normal refuse pick-up day.
