Sheridan Waste Management and Recycling

Refuse: Service includes collection of unlimited household refuse. 65 gallon trash & 65 gallon recycle is provided with service. Customers may request 95 gallon, but may not rent additional carts. 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.

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.

E-Waste is picked up quarterly on a saturday. Contact the Village of Sheridan for more information.

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.

Yard Waste Subscription: State law requires us to pick up yard waste separately from general waste. Collections begin April 1st and end November 30th, no credits or prorates are available for residents that sign up in the middle of the season. All yard waste material must be placed. Tree limbs, branches or brush must be cut to no more than 4 feet in length and placed in the container. Any brush or branches outside of the container must be cut down to 4 feet in length and bundled no greater than 2 feet in diameter. You will be required to call the office before your service day as there will be an extra charge for each extra bundle or bag. Yard waste in plastic bags will NOT be collected.

Yard Waste:  You will need to use Yard Waste bags. 2 bags will be collected weekly. Anything more than 2 bags per week will require a $1 sticker, which can be purchased at the Village Hall.

Pay Per Bag Yard Waste Collection: Collected on your regular collection day. Yard waste must be placed in 30 gallon Kraft bags (not weighing more than 50 pounds) and have a yard waste sticker on it. No plastic bags or personal containers allowed.

Large Items: One large item such as a couch or dresser or 1 cubic yard (3’x 3’x 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 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 45 pounds per container. Two containers will be considered one large item.

Appliances: State laws require us to collect any "white good" type of appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, washers etc. separately and recycle them. Each white good must have 5 stickers attached to it and you are required to call the office to schedule and make arrangement's for payment.

Clean up weeks:  Unlimited household trash, yard waste and e-waste will be collected during the clean up weeks. Contact the Village Hall for details

Special pick-ups and extra garbage: If you find you need extra rubbish picked up all at one time there will be an extra charge of $22.00 per cubic yard and you must call 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 will apply. Please call and check first if you think what you have placed out falls in this category.

Container Rental: Groot Industries has available to rent 95 gallon capacity trash containers and 65 gallon recycling containers. Containers are easily wheeled around and have lids. We also have 18 gallon recycling bins available for purchase. Call us for more details.

Senior Discount: We offer seniors over the age of 65 a 10% discount on their bill. Proof of age must be sent to Groot Industries to the attention of the Billing Department.
