HOW DO RESIDENTS OF KANEVILLE TOWNSHIP BENEFIT?

Road Preservation – The Township roads are traveled on by several haulers each week. One street may have over 12 trucks per week as waste, recycling and yard waste are all serviced by different trucks and several different haulers. Having only one hauler will preserve the roads and keep maintenance costs down.
Lower Rates/More Services – The Township Board negotiated new rates that will save the average Township resident anywhere from $70.00 to $150.00 per year, while most residents will also be receiving additional services, such as unlimited garbage and recycle collection, bulk item collection, twice per year appliance collection and complimentary carts for waste and recycling. The rate effective July 1, 2019 for all included services will be $18.75 per month.
Complimentary Services for the Township Building and Ball Park -The Township will also receive complimentary waste and recycling services at the Township Building and Park from DC Recycling Systems as well as LRS Pitstop portable restroom services.
Domestic Recycler – DC Recycling Systems is known to provide excellent service, with a hometown touch. In addition, DC is also part of the Lakeshore Recycling Systems family. This means the Township has partnered with a company that recycles 99.5% of the materials collected in the USA.

DOES EVERY TOWNSHIP RESIDENT HAVE TO USE DC RECYCLING SERVICE FOR WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICE?

As of July 1, 2019, every Kaneville Township home is required to have (and automatically receive) waste and recycling service, however, no one will be forced to recycle or put your waste out every week. Properties zoned as agriculture with commercial style containers provided by DC Recycling Systems may continue utilizing those containers and may be excluded from this program. These include 2, 4, 6 and 8 cubic yard containers. Commercial or industrial properties are not included in this program.

WILL DC RECYCLING SYSTEMS SERVICE A CONTAINER WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY NAME ON IT?

For various reasons, DC Recycling Systems will only service containers that are branded with DC Trash, DC Recycling Systems or Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS). We cannot service containers that are the property of a different company.

RESIDENT OWNED CONTAINERS

Additional garbage or recycling that does not fit in the DCRS cart may be placed neatly at the curb in waste containers. If using your own container for additional waste, it must have two handles and not exceed 35-gallons or 50 pounds when full, for safety reasons. If an item or items are not safe or acceptable for the driver to manage, they may be left behind with a sticker providing an explanation.

KANEVILLE TOWNSHIP GARBAGE COLLECTION

There is no limit to the amount of garbage that can be placed out for collection so long as it is properly contained and placed at the curb. D CRS containers must be used first. Excess garbage may be placed in a Resident Owned Container.

Loose trash or loose piles of trash will not be collected. Standard loose (13 to 30 gallons) garbage bags will be accepted so long as they are less than 50 lbs. We encourage the use of containers to prevent unwanted varmints and loose trash from blowing.

UNLIMITED RECYCLE COLLECTION

There is no limit to the amount of properly prepared containerized (acceptable) recycle materials that can be placed out for collection. Recycling needs to be properly prepared in accordance with the recycling guideline. All food-based recyclable containers should be rinsed. Plastic bags are not recyclable, and should not be placed in recycling carts. Click here for a DCRS Recycle Guide.

WHAT IS RECYCLABLE AND WHAT IS NOT RECYCLABLE?

Not all recyclable materials are necessarily recyclable with the curbside collection. Recyclable materials collected with the curbside program are taken to a material recovery facility with equipment designed to handle certain materials. Plastic grocery bags and shredded paper, for example, will damage the equipment used to sort materials. Feel free to call our customer service if you ever have questions about recycling. We are a recycling company and happy to help!
