SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!
It’s time to start planning for upcoming events! Below is a list of a few of the events to be held in Beecher in 2025. Click on the links below for more details.
BEECHER LIONS CLUB FARMERS MARKET
Welcome to the Village of Beecher, Illinois
EPAY CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES CHANGE BEGINNING APRIL 28TH
Over the last 5 years, the Village has chosen to absorb credit card usage fees charged by credit card companies for those paying the Village for water bills, dog tags, etc. The use of credit cards has increased extensively since then resulting in a large increase in fees the Village pays for customer’s use of credit cards. Since the average annual usage charges have increased to over $7000 per year, the Village Board has decided to return to passing on credit card usage fees to the customers who use this convenience. Moving forward, when anyone pays through the Epay system, the following charges will apply:
Pay by credit card – a 2.3% fee or $1 minimum will apply
Pay by e-check – .50 cents per transaction
Auto Pay is also an option for water bill payments. The payment would be taken out of your account on the due date.

The Village continues to accept checks and cash for payments for no additional charges. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
YARD WASTE BAG COLLECTION BEGINS MONDAY, APRIL 7TH
* Yard waste should be placed in brown paper yard waste bags with the green Homewood Disposal Sticker or in yard waste carts.
* Yard waste cannot be placed inside plastic garbage bags.
* Yard waste bags and containers cannot exceed 50 pounds each and should be able to be reasonably lifted by one person.
* Yard waste will be picked up on regularly scheduled garbage days.
Residents may use any retail paper yard waste bags as long as they display a green Homewood Disposal sticker. The green stickers are sold at Walt’s Food Center and the Beecher Village Hall. If you’d prefer to not use the paper bags or have a lot of yard waste each year, Homewood Disposal also offers yard waste cart rental. The price of the cart is $200 per year for unlimited yard waste. Contact Homewood directly for cart rental. Click here for the yard waste cart rental info: YARD WASTE CART RENTAL. You will be billed directly from Homewood Disposal for cart rental.
