All household garbage is to be placed out for pick-up each week by 6:30 a.m. on your regular pick-up day or set out the night before. Household trash should be placed inside the toter(s) provided by Republic Services.

Yard Waste vs. Brush?

There are three ways to dispose of your yard waste:

1. Place all waste in 30-gallon brown paper yard waste bags. No stickers are required. Yard waste bags can be found at local hardware and grocery stores.
2. Apply a "Yard Waste" sticker to your own 35-gallon container. If you need additional yard waste stickers, please contact Republic Service's Customer Service Department at 815-472-3332 or email them at This email address is being protected from spambots.

3. Rent a 96-gallon yard waste container from Republic Services for an annual fee by contacting the customer service department at 815-472-3332.

PLEASE NOTE: Tree branches in excess of two inches in diameter will not be removed. Tree branches must be bundled in a maximum 2 feet in diameter and 4 feet in length and should weigh no more than 40 lbs. If you need brush pick-up, you can find more information on the Public Works page.

Bulk waste pickup is limited to one item per household per week and must be arranged with Republic Services prior to placing the item roadside. The bulk item will not be picked up with your regular weekly garbage removal service.
