The Village of Jerome does not pick up yard waste. Yard waste bags put out by the road must have a sticker on them purchased from your waste hauler.
The Village Board has designated several streets as snow emergency routes, meaning vehicles cannot be parked on the road when a snow emergency is declared. This allows snow plows to move through narrow streets unimpeded. Along with Homewood Court, Barbara Court, Reed Court, Scott Court and West Grand Court, the west side of Lincoln Avenue has recently been designated a snow emergency route. Please help out our Public Works staff by observing these designations. Vehicles left on these roads will be towed.
With winter weather upon us, there are some steps that will make it easier to get through these cold days. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency has prepared a Winter Weather Preparedness Guide with many helpful tips for staying safe and warm.
