Since 2019, the Romeoville Veteran & Service Member Banner Program has recognized the accomplishments of the men and women of the six branches of the armed forces. 

Orders are now being accepted for the 2026 Veteran & Service Member Banner Program. The program is a way to remember, honor, or thank a veteran in your life with a 24” x 62” double-sided vinyl banner that will be displayed on the light poles in the community. 

Two locations are now available: 

•  Village Hall grounds - banners will hang from May-Nov. for $50 and $25 for renewal banners.

•  Montrose Dr. - banners will hang from May-April for $100 and $50 for renewal banners.

First time applicants will get precedence in the program. Part of the proceeds of this program will go towards the Veterans Commission scholarship fund as well as paying for veterans’ assistance programs. To qualify for the program, the veteran must be a current resident of Romeoville or, if deceased, had previously lived in Romeoville.

The Romeoville Police Department offers, free-of-charge, counseling services to residents. A licensed Clinical Social Worker is on staff full-time and can assist with family counseling, domestic violence and drug abuse. All services are confidential.

The Village of Romeoville has joined many local law enforcement agencies by instituting a collection box for unwanted, unused and expired medicines. It is located in the lobby of the Romeoville Police Dept., 1050 W. Romeo Rd.

The drug collection box is located near the glass partition separating the police department from Village Hall.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?Properly disposing of medicines is important to prevent abuse or poisoning and protect the environment. Prescription drug abuse is a growing problem, especially among teens, and accidental poisonings from medicines are on the rise. Medicines flushed down the drain or disposed of in the trash can pollute bodies of water, harm wildlife and end up in drinking water supplies.

The Village of Romeoville has a few online registries that may apply to you or a loved one. 

The Senior/Special Needs Registry is designed for residents who are seniors or have special medical needs (important medications, medical devices, or other requirements). The form will be submitted to the police and fire departments so that emergency responders will know ahead of time about any special circumstances they may encounter when responding to a call at your home. 

The Veterans Registry will notify veterans in town of special programs and opportunities available for those who have served our country in the armed services. 

The No Solicitor Registry is aimed at preventing solicitors from visiting your residence. When solicitors register for a permit, they will receive a copy of addresses they are not to visit. Yours will be among them.
