About


02_palatine-townshipPalatine Township takes in an area of 36 square miles. The Palatine Township Road District maintains the right-of-way of many of the streets in all unincorporated areas. With few exceptions, that right-of-way is 66 feet wide or 33 feet from the center of the street to the property line. Within that 66 feet, the Road District assumes many responsibilities.

Your Road District is equipped to handle most of these duties and to contract some with private enterprise. We have excellent Intergovernmental cooperation with the municipalities in and around Township boundaries. Manpower and equipment are often exchanged to make all of us more efficient.

2026 Yard Waste Collection (South)
Apr 6 @ 7:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Beginning April 6, 2026, we will resume our yard waste program by picking up the paper lawn and leaf bags. This service will continue through Thanksgiving week, November 23, 2026.

Late March, we will deliver to every home 56 yard waste stickers.   These stickers are to be used on yard waste bags that you purchase for the following items: grass clippings, leaves,  twigs, garden debris, weeds, stalks, vines, bark and wood chips.  Please do not put more than 40lbs of material in bags, fill the bags up to 6″ from the top and fold or tape shut.  If you have small brush and branches, you can tie them up with twine in bundles 4ft. or less in length and 2ft. or less in diameter.   By tying them they will be easier to lift into the truck.   Finally, place bags or bundles at edge of pavement before 7 a.m. the day of your scheduled pick up.  Again this year Plum Grove and Forest Estates Subdivision will be on Monday.  When a National Holiday falls on a Monday, we will pick up all yard waste on the Tuesday after the Holiday.

Tire Recycling Program @ Palatine Township Road District
Apr 18 @ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

We started a tire amnesty program several years ago; early each spring on selected Saturdays anyone living in Palatine Township can drop off their used tires at our yard. These tires are then sent to the grinder where they are ground up and used for asphalt pavement and play ground surfaces.  If you are a resident of Palatine  Township come and drop off your old tires at the Palatine Township Road District Garage. The drop of times will be from 10:00  a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday April 18, 2026, and Saturday April 25, 2026. Our location is 530 N. Smith Street, just under the water tower. There will be a limit of 10 tires and tires from commercial vendors will not be accepted.
