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.

We Need Your Input – Help Franklin Park Get the Lead Out
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Get the Lead Out Initiative (GLO) provides $15 billion to help communities to identify lead service lines, develop replacement plans, and secure funding for their removal. The Initiative is funded entirely by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed by President Biden in 2021.
We need your participation in an online survey to assist us in identifying which homes may still have lead service lines and prioritize their replacement. By completing the survey, you will help us protect our community's health by accelerating the replacement process.

The Village of Franklin Park has been working to deter rodent activity and has retained Orkin to set and regularly maintain more bait boxes throughout town. The Village has recently doubled the number of bait boxes in alleys, now totaling nearly 800. DO NOT MOVE BAIT BOXES OR PUT THEM IN YOUR YARDS – ONLY ORKIN TECHNICIANS SHOULD HANDLE BAIT BOXES.
The problem cannot be solved without your help - Please eliminate sources of food and hiding places on and around your property.
Garbage bins should always be closed with lids securely fastened to prevent critters from reaching a food source. Keep the area around your garbage bins free of trash, food scraps and spills. The Village is issuing tickets for any garbage overflowing out of containers and on the ground.
Residents can rent an additional trash bin for $3.66 per month. Call (847) 671-8258.
Mow your lawn on a regular basis and eliminate weeds in alleys and areas behind homes. Overgrown lawns and weeds are breeding grounds for rodents and insects. The Village is issuing tickets to homeowners if their grass is over six inches high.
Also, please remember to clean up after your pet while on walks and in your own backyard. Dog waste is a food supply for rodents. Do not leave pet food or water bowls outside which can attract unwanted wildlife. Pick ripe fruits and vegetables in your garden right away to eliminate a food source for pests and insects.
If you are disabled or elderly and need assistance complying, call (847) 671-4800. If you see properties that need to be maintained, please call the Village.
