Bulk Items:
One bulk item such as a couch or dresser or miscellaneous debris will be collected each week for no additional charge.

Tough Items: Fluorescent bulbs, needles, paint, tires etc...create special problems, please click here for help with these materials.
Oversized/Overweight Items: Some items are just too big or heavy for our drivers to handle without special equipment, in that case your driver may leave it so special arrangements can be made. In this event special charges will apply. Please contact us and check first if you think what you have placed out falls in this category.
Appliances: State laws require us to collect any white good type of appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, washers etc. separately and recycle. Residents must contact us in advance for white good collections; appliances are only collected on Mondays. There is no additional charge for this service.
Christmas Tree Pickup: Christmas trees may be placed out for collection through the month of January at no extra charge.
Construction Debris and General Clean Ups:
1 cubic yard at no charge - if more than 1 cubic yard, you need to contact us to schedule. All material must be cut up to no more than 4 ft in length and no larger than 2 ft in diameter.
All loose debris must be in cans or bags not exceeding 45 pounds per item. There will be a charge for each cubic yard (3x3x3) off debris. If a pick up is done on a day other than the regular service day there will be a trip charge along with the yardage charge.
Upon customer request the supervisor can perform an estimate prior to your collection day (material must be placed out at least 24 hours in advance of your regular collection day) so you can avoid paying a special trip charge.

Electronic Waste Collection - "e-waste"
The Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act prohibits any person from allowing or to cause mixing of any of the items listed with municipal waste that is intended for disposal at a landfill.
Groot Industries offers collection of these items directly from your home at no cost; however, you must call in advance to schedule a pick-up and make arrangements.
All items collected will be recycled and rendered inoperable. Due to the sensitive nature of some electronic items (computer hard drives or storage devices), we prefer to pick up items from the front, side, or top of drive locations.
Customers also have the option to bring their items directly to drop-off sites throughout the area, most of which are for no charge. Please visit the where and how page of our site and click on your county and then your town to search for area drop–off locations.
