The Village of Romeoville announced on May 22 that garbage collection services will be delayed by one day during the week of May 25 due to the observance of Memorial Day. There will be no collection services on Monday, May 25, and regular collection will resume one day later than usual for the rest of the week.
This change is intended to accommodate the national holiday and ensure residents are aware of adjustments to municipal services. The announcement affects all residents who receive regular waste collection from village services.
Romeoville is positioned in Will County along the Des Plaines River in northeastern Illinois, according to the official website. The community has a history dating back to its original naming as Romeo, inspired by Shakespeare’s character, meant as a companion name to nearby Juliet (later renamed Joliet), per the official website.
The village grew significantly from about 200 residents in 1929 to more than 15,000 by 1971, according to the official website. Louis Hamann was elected as its first president in 1895 based on information from the official website.
The Village Hall at Hampton Park served as Romeoville’s center of municipal government for fifty years, as detailed on the official website. The village also preserves historical sites along Historic Route 66, contributing to its identity as a family-oriented community according to the official website.
