Perrin Brothers Trucking Company accepts all recyclable materials including magazines, soda bottles, tin cans, etc. Keep in mind that materials that contain food waste or Styrofoam are not considered recyclable.  Due to regulations regarding the dumping of yard waste and recycling, recycling bags are NOT acceptable to use for the purpose of lawn waste removal.

Lawn Waste Pick-up
The Village's landscape waste collection program runs April 1 through December 15 annually.  The Village's waste removal provider, Perrin Brothers Trucking Company, collects yard waste in lawn bags typically available at most retail hardware and grocery stores including but not limited to Jewel, Dominick's, Walgreen's, Home Depot, Menards, etc. The Village no longer sells lawn bags at the Village Hall.

Yard Waste such as grass clippings, leaves and small hedge and brush trimmings must be placed in 30 gallon paper bags identified "For Yard Waste Only" for curbside or alley pick up.  No rock, stone, gravel or other similar materials should be mixed with the yard waste.  One (10) bundle of small branches not exceeding 36" in length or 12" in diameter will be taken at the yard waste collection point each pick up day when properly tied with biodegradable twine or fabric.  None of the braches in the bundle should exceed 3 1/2" in diameter.  Large quantities of tree and brush clippings and branches exceeding 3 1/2 " in diameter are considered a "Special Pick Up" as described above. Due regulations regarding the dumping of yard waste and recycling, recycling bags are NOT acceptable to use for the purpose of lawn waste removal

Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County
The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) is a unit of local government and a non-profit corporation. Twenty-three communities in northern Cook County joined to form SWANCC in 1988. SWANCC developed a long-term plan to manage the region's municipal solid waste that was adopted by its Board of Directors in 1991.

Since then, SWANCC has been at work implementing this economically stable and environmentally safe solution to the region's solid waste management needs.
