Geneva to issue garbage stickers for those with storm-related damage June 15
Geneva residents who had water damage stemming from the June 15 storm are invited to contact the City of Geneva's Public Works Department for a limited allotment of free garbage stickers.
In order to receive stickers, residents would need to call the Geneva Public Works Department at (630) 232-1501 to schedule a site visit.
Once the public works employee has verified the damage is weather-related, the garbage stickers will be distributed to the resident.
The damaged items can be placed at the curb on the regular trash collection days Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26.
The stickers will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis until the supply is exhausted. Normal business hours for the public works department is 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.
The June 15 storm dumped more than 4 inches of water on Geneva, including 2 inches alone between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m. Through the first three weeks in June, the city has had 6.1 inches of rain, which already is three times higher than the normal monthly average for this time of year.
Public works department crews spent this week attending to calls from residents for standing water, weather-related damage and clearing catch basins.
The city would like to thank Advanced Disposal for providing the garbage sticker allotment at no additional cost.
