Telehealth Available for Algonquin Residents
Cold and flu season is here, and Algonquin’s new telehealth program offers quick medical guidance right from home. Residential utility account holders (unless opted out) can text 839-887-0365 between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. to connect with a licensed physician—no copays, deductibles, or insurance required, and households may use the service as often as needed. A $6 monthly fee now appears on residential utility bills; learn more below.
Service Update: Yard Waste Collection
Due to the Winter Storm Warning 11/29, Groot paused yard waste pickup to prioritize essential garbage service, and any missed yard waste will be collected on your regular day this week (Thursday or Friday), with yard waste service continuing through the second week of December.
Electric Bikes, Scooters & Safety Reminders
Before buying or gifting an e-scooter or e-bike this holiday season, please remember that these devices may not be used on Village streets, sidewalks, parks, parking lots, or other public spaces—use is limited to private property with the owner’s permission. Knowing the rules ahead of time helps keep our neighborhoods safe and prevents citations for repeat violations; learn more below.
Village Offices Closed December 24 & 25
The Ganek Municipal Center and Public Works Facility will be closed on Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25, in observance of the holiday. Groot refuse, recycling, and yard waste collection will be delayed by one day for the entire week.
