Trick or Treat Hours 2024

Halloween is Almost Here

The Village's trick or treat hours are 3:00pm to 7:00pm on October 31st. Here are some Halloween safety tips: 

  • Young children should always be accompanied by an adult. Older children should trick-or-treat in
    groups and stick to familiar, well-lit areas.
  • Plan and review the route beforehand. Avoid
    shortcuts through alleys and backyards.
  • Cross streets at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look both ways before crossing and avoid darting out into the street.
  • Walk on sidewalks wherever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic and stay as far to the left as possible.
  • Inspect all treats for tampering before consumption. Avoid homemade treats from strangers.

The Hanover Park Fire Department will have multiple vehicles passing out candy on October 31st. Visit the following link for the locations and estimated times of these candy stops: Fire Department Location Map.

Yard Waste Sticker Not Needed for November’s Leaves

As fall approaches, please remember that leaves cannot be deposited onto the Village streets or parkways.  Leaves can get into the curbline, clog storm drains, and cause flooding.  

As a benefit to the residents of Hanover Park, leaf collection in November will not require a yard waste sticker to be collected by Groot Industries.  This is during the month of NOVEMBER ONLY and is for LEAVES ONLY.  You must rake your leaves, put them into a recyclable yard waste bag, and set them at the curb on your normal trash pick-up day.  

All yard waste pick-up is offered until November 30, 2024.  After this date, yard waste pick-up will not resume until spring.  If you have any questions, please contact Groot Industries at 866.782.5161 or the Public Works Department at 630.823.5700.
