Gas powered leaf blowers are banned in Wilmette from May 15th to Sept. 30th. Help enforce this ordinance to make Wilmette a cleaner, healthier and quieter place to live. Download the bi-lingual flyer to hand to yard crews using leaf blowers. Also, please call Ted Blumenthal at Village Hall at 847/853-7521 or email a report to him at blumenthalt@wilmette.com. Better yet, take a couple of photos with your phone or camera of the crew using the device, the truck with the name of the service and the address and email them to Ted. The first offence is a fine of $75.00, the second is a fine of $150.00.
