Village Ordinance - Compliance Needed
Gas leaf blower ban is in effectDid you know that Wilmette prohibits the use of gas-powered leaf blowers from May 15 - September 30? To improve compliance with this ordinance, the Village's code enforcement officer will be issuing citations to offenders. When a company is cited, the homeowner will also be notified to help increase awareness of the ordinance. If you hire a lawn care company, please remind them of the ordinance if they are not following it. Visit our Environment page for more useful information about the blowers and the ban.
