Construction Debris Collection
Construction debris includes drywall, plywood, paneling, carpeting, sod, clay, sand, stone, concrete, rocks, disassembled kitchen and bathroom fixtures, or other loose construction material that is not suitable for placement in our provided containers and exceeds 50 pounds in weight, or when bundled exceeds four feet in length and eighteen inches in diameter. These collections will be charged a minimum pick-up rate. Please check your town for specific cubic yard collection.
Christmas Tree Collection
All holiday greenery, including live Christmas trees, decorative live holiday wreaths and boughs, must have all tinsel, ornaments and lights removed before being placed at the curb for pickup based on your community's removal schedule during the month of January (schedules are available under your town page, or by calling the office)
Live Christmas trees collected curbside are turned into mulch at an approved yard waste facility during the month of January. This is a much more environmentally friendly process than placing them into a landfill.
Hazardous / Unacceptable Materials
Household hazardous waste products are flammable, toxic, corrosive or reactive and pose a harmful threat or damage to the environment when disposed of improperly. Items such as paint, household batteries, pesticides, poisons, cleaning solvents, tainted gasoline, used oil and other automotive products are considered to be hazardous waste and should not be included with your regular garbage for disposal. For specific county information visit: Cook, Kane, DuPage.
Recycling Electronics
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states electronic waste is now the fastest growing segment of our nation’s waste. Electronic waste, including computers and TVs, contain toxic materials such as lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc and other potentially harmful chemicals. The EPA warns when electronics that contain these materials are not recycled or disposed of properly, the hazardous chemicals can contaminate the ground water and present additional environmental concerns. The State of Illinois Electronic Waste Landfill Ban is a State Law. Under this state law, electronic waste cannot be collected with household refuse/waste. Contact Flood Brothers to schedule an e-waste collection or find out what items are banned. To sign up for Subscription Waste Collection Services call or contact us. For information on electronic recycling events, dates, and drop-off locations for Kane County, view our Electronics Recycling page.
Helpful Tips
