MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY GARBAGE COLLECTION NOTICE

AND CHRISTMAS TREE PICKUP REMINDER

The garbage collection schedule for the week of January 18 – January 22, 2010 will remain the same. The Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, January 18 will not affect the normal garbage collection schedules for the week.

As a reminder, beginning the week of January 18th through to January 28th 2010, city residents may place their Christmas trees at curbside to be picked up by Rock River Disposal. Please make certain to remove all lights, ornaments, and garland.

In addition to Christmas trees, Rock River Disposal will also collect downed tree limbs as the result of the recent ice storm. In order for those limbs to be picked up at curbside, residents will need to bundle the limbs and secure them with string/twine in packages no longer than 3 feet and diameters no greater than 2 feet. You may also place the limbs in yard waste paper bags, or garbage cans designated with an X.

We would also like to remind residents that Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful will be conducting their 22nd Annual Christmas Tree Recycling program through to January15th. Residents may drop off their Christmas trees at the following city locations:

  • Don Schmid Youth Sports Center/Riverdahl Park
  • Blackhawk Park/100 15th Ave.
