Village-Wide Garage Sale in Shorewood This Weekend

Two staples on the Village of Shorewood's annual spring calendar are rapidly approaching.

Now, if only the weather would cooperate so residents could enjoy a bit of spring.

First, the annual village-wide garage sale will be Friday and Saturday (April 26-27). Each year, more than 200 residents participate in this event, according to a post on the Village of Shorewood's website.

According to the village, an address list of garage sale participants will be available at Village Hall, Seven Eleven, Troy-Shorewood Public Library, K's Food and Liquor as well as on the Village website:www.vil.shorewood.il.us.

Second, the annual village-wide clean-up is set for April 30.

During this clean-up, unlimited amounts of household refuse material, including bulk items such as furniture, mattresses and junk, will be picked up by Waste Management on regular pick-up days around the village, according to the villiage website.

Hazardous waste such as paints, motor oils, tires, large automobile parts, or construction type materials such as concrete, stone, dirt, wood or metal will not be picked up. For proper disposal, call 815-727-8834. For pick up of "white goods" such as appliances, call Waste Management at 1-800-796-9696.
