2024 Fall Leaf Disposal

The City of Greenville's Leaf Vacuuming Program will begin Monday, October 14, 2024, and will run through Friday, December 13, 2024 (weather permitting). 

Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the edge of the curb or edge of the yard so the vacuum can reach them.  Leaves should not extend into the street or roadway. Please keep piles no higher than three feet and make sure sticks, brush and other debris are not in the piles as it could cause the machine to malfunction.

The Leaf Burning Season begins Monday, November 4, 2024, and will run through December 31, 2024.  Leaf Burning Permits are required to burn and can be obtained at the Municipal Building. As always, burning is permitted on private property only.  Residents may not burn leaves on any public street, sidewalk, alleyway, or road ditches.  During burning season, the following schedule is permitted:

     Mondays and Thursdays     10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

     First and Third Weekends of the Month     10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

 Burning leaves in such a manner as to allow the smoke to blind passing motorists is not permitted. No burning of leaves shall occur on any legal holiday during the burning season. With the City vacuuming and collecting leaves, the goal is to minimize the need to burn leaves.

GREENVILLE WINS $1.9 MILLION STATE GRANT FOR DOWNTOWN PLAZA

 

The City of Greenville will be moving forward on a new downtown pavilion with a stage and bandstand to accommodate music and theatrical events thanks to the announcement of the city being awarded a $1.9 million state grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The Greenville Plaza Project will also include a welcome center, public restrooms, ADA-accessible ramps, and outdoor seating for dining and public events. The public plaza is a 100% municipal project and will cost $2.5 million. The state grant of $1.9 million under the competitive Downtowns and Illinois Main Streets Capital Program will be joined by a local match of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, City funds and potential legacy gifts, to fund 20-25% (or $625,000) of the project. The construction effort will create dozens of jobs for skilled carpenters, electricians, operators, iron workers, laborers, cement masons and other high-quality tradespeople.
