Watch for Scams
If you receive something in the mail requesting the need to
have a worker conduct a test or an inspection in your home, please
review the information carefully to verify if it is really from
the Village. If you are unsure, please contact the Village at
(847) 671-4800 or call the Police Department at (847) 678-2444.
As a reminder, residents should always ask for identification
from anyone requesting access to their home. If you are
approached by an individual claiming to be a Village of
Franklin Park employee or a worker from a local utility,
make sure they have proper identification. You can also
check to see that they are driving a clearly marked Village
of Franklin Park or utility company vehicle. If something
seems suspicious or it just doesn’t “feel” right to you, please
call the Franklin Park Police Department at 847-678-2444.

Working together to Keep Our Community Clean
The Village has retained Orkin to set more than 800 bait boxes throughout town. Orkin will be checking the boxes twice a week. The problem cannot be solved with bait boxes only – We need everyone’s help to eliminate food sources and hiding places on and around your property. Please clean your yard and remove debris, inoperable vehicles and machinery from your yard.
The Village is issuing tickets for any garbage overflowing out of containers and on the ground. Make sure your lids are closed tight and clean up spills. You can rent an additional trash bin for $3.83 per month. Call (847) 671-8258.
Mow your lawn regularly and eliminate weeds in alleys and around your home. The Village is issuing tickets to homeowners if their grass is over six inches high.
Clean up after your pet on walks and in your backyard immediately. Dog waste is a food supply for rodents. Do not leave pet food or water bowls outside. Pick fruits and vegetables in your garden right away.
If you need assistance complying, call (847) 671-4800. If you see properties that need to be maintained, please call the Village.
If you feel you have a problem near your property, ask Orkin service workers when they are in your area to assess the situation in your yard. Please DO NOT tamper with Orkin’s bait boxes or move them into your backyard. DO NOT throw the bait boxes in the trash.
