How Do I Dispose of Appliances?

Appliance pick up is included with most weekly residential service. Each week we will take one large appliance and ensure it’s disposed of properly. Appliances must be placed out for pick up next to your garbage containers on your normal pick up day.

If you are disposing of a large appliance, like a refrigerator, freezer or stove, we would appreciate a phone call before your pick up day, but a phone call is not required. Please call 708-798-1004. Please note that for larger appliances we may send an additional truck with a lift-gate later in the day. Residents in Grundy County and some rural communities should contact our office as there may be a charge for appliance pick up.

Commercial (business) customers, please contact your account manager for options.
