Park City Waste and Recycling
Residents may choose from three types of refuse programs as follows:
95 gallon service level: Each household has been provided with one (1) 95 gallon capacity tote for their
use. Any extra cans or bags over and above the tote will require a sticker to be purchased and placed on the item.
Residents will also be allowed up to one bulk item per week at no additional charge,
any extra bulk items will require a special charge and arrangements must be made in advance. This
is the program you will be automatically enrolled in unless you call us to enter the other program. We try to be
regular with our collection times but we may arrive earlier or later on your collection day, please have your
material out by 6:00 AM to be assured pick up.
65 gallon service level: Same as the
95 gallon program but with a slightly lower monthly cost with a smaller 65 gallon capacity
tote.
Pay- Per Bag Program: Residents who generate small volumes of refuse may
elect the pay per bag program. In this program residents can purchase a refuse sticker and affix the sticker to each
bag or can not exceeding 33 gallons which contain standard household waste. * please note: if your household
generates more than one bag per week, it is more cost-effective to utilize the unlimited standard level of
service. Residents will still be invoiced for regular recycling services. Residents who opt for this
program are NOT eligible for the one large item per week service, and must call in advance to arrange for any
bulk item pick-up.
Senior Discounts: Discounts are available for those
65 years of age or older.
Bulk Items: One bulk item such as a couch or dresser 1 cubic yard (3x 3x 3) of miscellaneous debris or construction material will be collected each week for no additional charge. Construction type debris should be stacked or bundled in lengths no longer than 4 feet and no larger than 2 feet in diameter.
- We will consider a box spring and mattress as one large item.
- Carpeting should be in rolls no longer than 4 feet long and two feet in diameter and taped. We consider 5 rolls to be one large item.
- In general try and keep any loose material bundled and neat so we can pick up.
- Stone, concrete, and dirt can only be picked up in containers and cannot weigh more than 45lbs. per container. Two containers will be considered one large item.
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 for an additional fee; 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.

and you are required to call the office to schedule and make arrangements for payment.

the office to arrange for scheduling and payment. If you choose to have your clean-up done on a day other than your
normal service day an extra trip fee will be charged.
Oversized/Overweight
Items:
Some items are just too big or heavy for our people to handle without special
equipment, in that case your driver may leave it so special arrangements can be made. In this event special charges
