I
would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Green Oaks internet site. Hopefully our site will provide you with needed information about the village of Green Oaks. The Village of Green Oaks is a small and proud community approximately 30 miles north of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois. Our community is rich in tradition that affords the pleasantries of quiet country living, excellent schools, access to major highways and tollways, single family home on large lots, all complemented by our growing commercial and retail business district.
If you are just browsing or are looking for specific information, our site has much to offer. I hope you will enjoy the information we have provided. If there is something you wish to find out about our village, you may send specific questions to vilgrnoaks@aol.com for an appropriate reply.

SWALCO Update: Residential Waste Collection Services
The waste industry is
indicating it is operating at nearly full capacity and is still able to provide
regular collection for garbage and recyclables. One service that has
been impacted throughout Lake County is the collection of bulky items or large
items left outside of the garbage container, which will no longer be collected
unless the material is placed in a rigid container or plastic bag. The
waste industry has told us they made this decision based on the safety of its
drivers. For specific information on the status of bulky item collection
in your community please check the SWALCO Neighborhood Program Community Website (Green Oaks)
