Police Warn Residents of Surge
in Vehicle Burglary and Theft
|
|
Did you know Glen Ellyn is experiencing a pronounced increase in thefts from motor vehicles and these crimes are some of the easiest to prevent?
In 2017, 89 percent of the vehicles burglarized were unlocked. Vehicles left unlocked in driveways are an easy and frequent target. Victims routinely report the loss of electronics, purses, gift cards and currency. In most cases, thieves will move past a locked vehicle, as forcing entry will expend time and elevate the risk of alarming residents. The loose change that is stolen, in some cases, can be used by addicts to further their drugs habits.
Also in 2017, Glen Ellyn Police investigated 14 reports of stolen motor vehicles. All but one of the vehicles stolen were left unlocked, with the keys inside the vehicle. Stolen cars are frequently used to commit additional crimes in neighboring communities.
The Glen Ellyn Police Department encourages everyone to take the following simple and proactive steps to safeguard your property:
- Develop a habit to lock your vehicles, regardless of the time of day.
- Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle. Secure briefcases, purses, electronics, etc. inside your home.
- Do not leave items of value in plain view inside your vehicle.
Glen Ellyn residents have a simple, yet effective opportunity to protect themselves from losing their personal property and valuables - lock it up.

Save the Date: Unlimited Refuse Collection
and Recycling Extravaganza in April
|
|
Unlimited Refuse Collection Returns April 16
The Village of Glen Ellyn's waste hauler, Groot Industries, will be providing a one-time, unlimited refuse collection the week of Monday, April 16. This special service, occurring every other year, only applies to residents who live in incorporated Glen Ellyn. The program also excludes multi-family (townhome residents may participate) and commercial buildings. Its purpose is to enable residents to get rid of odds and ends that can't be recycled. Please note that yard waste is not included in the unlimited refuse day and each bundle or bag must be tagged with a yard waste sticker. In order to keep the cost of this program down, it is critical that no additional refuse is brought from outside the Village limits.
Recycling Extravaganza Held April 21
The Village of Glen Ellyn's Environmental Commission will once again host the annual Recycling Extravaganza. This year's event will be held on Saturday, April 21 from 9am to 1pm at the Duane Street & Lorraine Street parking lot (just west of the Glen Ellyn Public Library parking lot). Be sure to save your recyclables for this event! As a reminder, no electronics will be accepted.
