disposal policies

The following is a list of procedures our company has developed as a guide for our customers to use so we can work together to ensure safe and efficient disposal of trash.

Carpeting: We will take up to four rolls per week of carpeting free of charge. Carpeting needs to be cut into lengths no longer than three feet, rolled up and tied in bundles that one person can pick up.

Paint: At this time we are not able to dispose of liquid paint. We will take paint cans as long as the content is completely dry. Latex paint can be dried out by putting kitty litter in the can. Paint cans need to be set next to your regular trash with the lids off.

Construction Debris: We will take two cans of construction debris per week as long as they weigh no more than 50 pounds each.

Pool liners: Pool liners must be cut and rolled, each weighing no more than 50 pounds.

Appliances: We will take one large household appliance per week. They must be at the curb on your regular day. By law, all doors must be completely taken off.

Oil: Oil has been banned from Illinois landfills. As a result, we are not able to dispose of oil for our customers. Many local service stations and area car care clinics will recycle motor oil. There may be a charge.
