Local services and rules

Moving to Elmhurst: who to call and what the city asks.

Elmhurst lies in both DuPage County and Cook County, Illinois, and is a western suburb of Chicago. Recycling containers come from or through the city: 20-gallon plastic containers stamped with the city name and issued to residents. All students in the school district attend York High School for grades nine through twelve.

Street parking bans

Parking on any street is prohibited between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., with exceptions for physicians on emergency calls or as authorized by the Chief of Police.

Parking on any street is also banned after snow reaches a depth of two inches, for eight hours after the snow stops falling and for as long after that as snow removal is under way.

Trash set-out times and work hours

Trash and recycling may be set out on the parkway no sooner than 24 hours before the regularly scheduled pickup day, and containers must be removed within 12 hours after that day.

Construction, demolition, alteration and repair of buildings is allowed from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, apart from urgent necessity.

School District 205 registration

Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 has an online address locator that shows which elementary and middle school boundaries a given address falls in.

New students register online and must show three proofs of residency, which are presented to school staff in person.

Elmhurst Public Library cards

Elmhurst Public Library issues cards in person at 125 S. Prospect Avenue. A photo ID showing a current Elmhurst address is the main requirement for residents of incorporated Elmhurst.

Those residents can also open a temporary digital-only account online and finish registration at the library within a month, bringing proof of residency. Residents of unincorporated Elmhurst and those living in areas served by School District 205 may purchase a library card. The library asks cardholders who move to tell it their new address.

City pet license

Dogs and cats four months or older kept within the city need an annual city license, obtained within 30 days of acquiring the animal or moving into the city. The City Clerk issues it on receipt of a rabies inoculation certificate from a licensed veterinarian.
