Just a reminder that Groot is asking that you have your leaves out each Monday by 6 am through November 29. While they tell us to have the leaves out on Mondays, as the season progresses, they may not be there on Monday due to the volume of leaves they pick up elsewhere. During the major drop, pickups may take longer than a week. Please have patience as they will get to you. If you feel you have been missed, please contact our office at 847 223-2847.
Groot must have a 3 foot clearance of any obstructions including mailbox, boulders, signs, yard decorations etc. You must keep leaves away from those structures.
The vac hose reach is 3 feet, so piles will need to be as close as possible to the road. Avoid filling ditches, which can result in clogged culverts and storm sewer in the event of heavy downpours.
Avoid parking along the street because if your car is parked in front of the leaves, Groot cannot vacuum them. Groot will not return if you car has blocked their ability to vacuum the leaves causing you to wait until their next pick up.
This service is for leaves only!!! You are not required to use this service, it is meant as a convenience for you. Approach this service with reasonable expectations, given the unpredictable variables that exist. We anticipate snow, ice, rain and wind to throw in curveballs. If you wish to use compost bags, the Groot stickers are available for purchase at the service desk at either Jewel in Mundelein. If you are 65 or older you are eligible for a senior discount. Please bring your driver's license or state ID with your current address so we can sign you up for the Senior discount wjth Groot.
