The Open Burning of Landscape Waste Ordinance became effective April 1, 2008. Residents who may have been able to burn leaves in the past, may no longer be able to do so. Due to this, landscape waste haulers and lawn service companies will be picking up additional landscape waste removal contracts for the fall. If any area farmers are interested in receiving leaves for agricultural land application, please call the McHenry County Department of Health, Environmental Division at 815.334.4587. We will try to link you with a landscape waste hauler in your area.
