Senior / Disabled Snow Removal Program
The Village of Bensenville Senior Snow Plowing Program is designed to help those in our community who need assistance to obtain a low cost solution to snow removal on their driveways, sidewalks, and private walks.
The Village will hire independent contractors to provide discounted rates for common snow removal services. The Village will also subsidize half of the cost. Applicant must select ONE (1) option listed below:
| Snow Removal Service | Cost of Service | Village Subsidy | Cost to Resident |
| Resident has Public Sidewalk / Corner Lot Option: includes driveway, sidewalk, pathway to driveway / sidewalk snow removal | $50.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 |
| Resident has Public Sidewalk / Standard Lot Option: includes driveway,sidewalk, pathway to driveway / sidewalk snow removal | $40.00 | $20.00 | $20.00 |
| Resident does not have a public sidewalk / Standard Lot Option: includes driveway and pathway to driveway snow removal | $30.00 | $15.00 | $15.00 |
The Public Works Department will administer the program. Snow plowing of driveways and shoveling of sidewalks will occur after two (2) inches or more of snow has fallen. Snow removal will not begin until a snow event is completed (i.e. the snow has stopped falling). In the event of excessive snowfall (typically greater than six (6) inches), the independent contractors may be instructed to perform multiple visits. The Village will charge the participant for each visit made to the property. Timing of snow removal will depend on the snow event, but our goal would be to have all snow removal completed by 10am on any given day. Being a participant of the snow removal program, we request that no one but the contractor is to remove snow. This will alleviate any confusion for billing purposes. Failure to comply may be cause for removal from the Program. The program does have specific eligibility requirements (listed below) that require documentation to prove eligibility.
