The City is under a new waste collection and hauling contract, which provides a decrease in waste hailing rates for 2018. After a thorough bidding and review process, City Council approved a new 5-year contract with Republic Services of Melrose Park. An additional benefit in continuing with Republic Services is there will NOT be a Citywide change out of toters or a change in collection days. The new contract maintains the same services with a few additional options listed below:
- Spring clean up days remains
- Free leaf pick up for two cycles in the Fall remains
- New! 35-gallon toter option for waste only. (Details will be made available in the next few months.)
- New! organic (food scrap) recycling. (Details will be made available in the next few months.)
- New! Recycling options for electronic and medical sharps for a fee.
The new rates are as follows:
95-Gallon Toter $22.29/month
65-Gallon Toter $17.20/month
35-Gallon Toter $16.50/month
Refuse Stickers $3.25/sticker
Yard Waste Stickers $3.25/sticker
Organic Composting Toter rental $17.50/month
