Garbage, Recycling & Dumpster Services
in Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana

SEVERE WEATHER AND WASTE COLLECTION

Due to the recent storm on August 11, 2026, service may be delayed for your neighborhood or street as we work to safely and quickly collect your waste. If we could not reach you on your normal collection day, please keep your garbage, recycling, and yard waste out at the curb for collection. We are working with your community to collect areas blocked by debris.
Where’s My Cart?
Lost your cart in the storm? Many carts have a serial number imprinted on the cart that identifies it to a home. Please contact us for your serial number.
Trees and Large Branches
Please note that garbage haulers are not equipped to collect trees, stumps, or large branches. Please contact your village or a local tree service for removal.
