CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL/DEBRIS
DCRS will collect small quantities of construction material that is containerized, either in the DCRS garbage cart or a 35 gallon (or less) container with two handles, not to exceed 50 pounds in weight. DCRS will accept manageable bundles that are tied on both ends and fastened. Bundles may not exceed four feet in length and width and be under 2’ in height. (4’L x 4’W x 2’H). Loose piles on construction debris will not be accepted. Construction materials/debris may not exceed the equivalent of 5 standard (35 gallon or less) garbage containers or 2 cubic yards. Special collections are available for excess materials and DCRS will provide an estimate. Contact our customer service to receive an estimate and arrange for special collection. We may charge by the cubic yard or by the item, depending on what it is. Kaneville Township residents will receive a discounted rate as a preferred community partner.
APPLIANCE COLLECTION (ALSO KNOWN AS WHITE GOODS)
Collected twice per year in May and October.
Appliances, such as a washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove, water softener, heater or freezer, are restricted from regular garbage collection. DCRS is providing collection of household quantities for Kaneville Township residents twice per year. The special collection will take place every year the last full week of May and the last full week of October, on collection day.
Items containing refrigerant or chlorofluorocarbons, sometimes referred to as Freon, must be completely evacuated. DCRS recommends contacting a professional to ensure proper evacuation of any hazardous liquids or gases. Items collected that still contain Freon will result in an additional charge to the resident as DC is charged to properly manage it. DCRS will collect appliances for a special charge if you would like to make an arrangement outside of the two appliance collection days in May and October. Please call our customer service to receive an estimate and arrange for collection.
