Unlimited amounts of refuse in cans or bags will be
collected each week.
Cans or bags may weigh up to 50 pounds when full,
and may hold up to 32 gallons of refuse.
Please check with Allied Waste before purchasing any
container larger than 32 gallons since most have design
features that are not compatible with Allied Waste's
equipment.
Refuse must be placed at the curb unless the resident
has arranged with Allied Waste for rear door collection.
Collection of individual items weighing more than
300 pounds; large amounts of building materials, carpeting,
dirt, concrete, furnishings, etc.; and appliances containing
hazardous components should be coordinated between Allied
Waste (formerly named BFI, click
here for information regarding the change of name)
and the customer. Call Allied Waste at 708-345-7050
prior to collection to arrange for an estimate of cost.
