By Village of Union Grove - Apr 01, 2026

Custom Truck One Source Expansion Approved

At its March 2 meeting, the Plan Commission held a public hearing and approved a Conditional Use Permit for Custom Truck One Source to construct a building addition at its facility on Leider Drive. The project includes the construction of an approximately 12,000 square foot addition to the existing industrial facility.

The expansion will allow the business to increase operational space while maintaining the existing site layout, access, and circulation patterns. The proposed building design is consistent with the existing facility, and no changes to parking or traffic flow are anticipated.

These improvements support continued industrial investment in the Village while maintaining compatibility with surrounding properties.

Motor Oil Recycling Returns

The Village will begin collecting used motor oil at the Department of Public Works facility, located at 19326 County Line Road, starting April 6.

This service was previously offered in the Village and is being reinstated as a convenience for residents. Motor oil recycling is available for Village residents only.

Collection hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Oil must be free of contaminants. Antifreeze, gasoline, brake fluid, paint, solvents, and oil filters are not accepted.

Annual Park Clean-Up Event

The Village will hold its annual Park Clean-Up event as part of an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, May 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Volunteers are asked to meet at School Yard Park to receive park assignments and supplies before heading out to assist with cleanup efforts at parks throughout the community.

The Village will provide equipment, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and tools if available.

Snacks will be provided for volunteers at the cleanup, courtesy of Union Grove Kiwanis.

Brush Collection Beginning in April

Brush collection by Union Grove Public Works begins this month. This service will be available from April to October during the last full week of each month, Monday through Friday.

This service is intended for branches up to 6 inches in diameter. Branches should be placed at the curb in lengths of at least 6 feet to assist with efficient collection. Residents are encouraged to place brush at the curb at the beginning of the collection week, as Public Works crews collect material as it is observed rather than on a fixed route schedule.
