The Homer Glen Village Board Wednesday approved a five-year contract extension with its garbage service that includes slight monthly increases each year through 2031.

The village’s contract with Homewood Disposal Service expires June 30, and village officials said they do not want residents to experience any disruption in services, which could occur if they switched providers.

The village negotiated a new five-year deal that would include a $1.47 per month increase from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 for garbage, recycling and yard waste pickup bringing the monthly bill up from $29.50 to $30.97.

Each subsequent year of the deal would include monthly increases that range from $1.55 to $1.80 by the end of the contract.

The rate for single family homes would be $37.65 per month from July 1
