Storm Update (July 7, 2026)

Lombard Public Works crews have been working throughout the community to clear storm debris from parkway trees and public areas following the storms that impacted Lombard over the holiday weekend. Crews will continue these cleanup efforts until all affected areas have been addressed.

To assist residents with storm cleanup, the Village will provide up to 10 free Waste Management storm debris stickers per impacted property. The stickers may be used for the disposal of flood-damaged household items and private property tree debris in accordance with Waste Management collection guidelines.

Brush Collection Requirements: 

• Bundled brush will be collected from residential properties provided that one sticker is attached to each bundle. 
• Bundles must be securely tied with non-plastic twine or string, weigh no more than 50 pounds, and be no more than 6 feet long and 18 inches in diameter. Individual branches may not exceed 6 inches in diameter 
• Brush that exceeds these requirements will not be collected and should be removed through a private landscaping or tree service contractor. 
•  

Stickers will be available at the Lombard Public Works Department, located at 1051 S. Hammerschmidt Ave., through Monday, July 20. The Public Works office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For questions, please contact Lombard Public Works at (630) 620-5740 or email publicworks@villageoflombard.org.

In addition, residents who experienced flooding or sewer backup issues are encouraged to learn about the following grant program opportunities:

• The Residential Drainage Program provides technical assistance and grant opportunities to help eligible homeowners address persistent drainage issues. 
• The Overhead Sewer Reimbursement Program assists eligible homeowners who experience chronic sewer backups.
