The City is under a new waste collection and hauling contract, which provides a decrease in waste hauling 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
