Residents will have landscape waste collections weekly from April 1st through November 30th. The two programs offered are as follows:

• Landscape waste stickers: Residents who have limited volumes of yard waste will have the option to purchase a sticker and place it on either a 33 gallon can or a biodegradable yard waste bag. This is the standard program.
• Subscription Service: Residents who generate higher volumes of yard waste may elect to pay an annual fee for the collection of landscape waste season. Up to 4 cans or bags are allowed per week from April 1st October 15th; six (6) are allowed per week from October 16th until December 1st. Please contact us at (877) 404-7668 to sign up.

All yard waste material must be placed in a suitable container or Kraft paper type yard waste bag (preferred) not to exceed 50 lbs. each. Any brush or branches outside of the container or bag must be cut down to 4 feet in length and bundled no greater than 2 feet in diameter. Yard waste in plastic bags will NOT be collected.

Grass clippings, leaves, twigs, garden debris, weeds, fruits, seeds, stalks, vines are acceptable landscape items. Landscape does not include wood timbers, plastic edging, plant pots or trays, wood chips, bark, fertilizer or landscape material bags, landscape fabric, root sections, sand, gravel, sod, firewood, rocks, excess amounts of dirt or animal waste.

One bulk item such as a couch or dresser or 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; to avoid additional fees queen or larger sized mattresses must be rolled and tied or taped.
• 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.

Some items are just too big or heavy for our people to handle without special equipment. These oversized/overweight bulk items require prior arrangement for pick-up, and will incur an additional fee. Please call 847-693-2700 in advance to make special arrangements, or the item(s) may not be picked up.

State laws require us to collect any white good type of appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, washers etc. separately and recycle. There is a fee per item for collection and you are required to call the office to schedule and make arrangements for payment.

If you find you need a large amount of extra rubbish picked up all at one time there will be an extra charge 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.
