Please note: garbage mixed with yard waste, leaves or organic material will not be collected, as this material is not permitted in State of Illinois Landfills.

Smaller E-Waste items may be placed at the curb in a brown paper bag, a 24” x 24” x 24” or smaller cardboard box. Please mark the box as ‘E-WASTE’ so the drivers can easily see it from the truck cab. Place E-Waste separate from the refuse (garbage), recycle and yard waste containers in a noticeable location so they are easily identifiable for the driver.
Yard waste is considered grass or shrubbery cuttings, leaves, tree limbs, and other materials accumulated as a result of the care of lawns, shrubbery and vines.
Yard Waste season begins April 1 through November 15 each year. Yard waste collection is unlimited so long as it’s properly prepared. Yard waste can be placed in 2 ply, biodegradable paper bags, or containers not exceeding 35 gallons and marked clearly with a large “X” or the yard waste carts provided by the LRS for $5.00 per month or brush bundles tied in biodegradable twine not exceeding 4’ length, 2’ width and 50 lbs.
