Services
Residential Waste Collection
We offer weekly curbside trash collection for residential properties using either sticker-based or cart-based systems. Sticker service requires purchasing bags with per-bag charges, while cart service provides 96-gallon containers with volume limits. Both options require proper waste separation and curbside placement by 6:00 AM on collection days.
Yard Waste Disposal
Our yard waste service handles leaves, grass clippings, and trimmings through seasonal sticker programs or dedicated carts. Materials must use biodegradable paper bags with size restrictions for branches and brush. Christmas tree collection requires advance scheduling during January with additional fees for oversized items.
Recycling Services
Single-stream recycling accepts plastics #1-7, glass containers, aluminum, and mixed paper products. Materials must be cleaned with caps removed and placed separately from regular trash. We provide specific guidelines for acceptable items and prohibit hazardous materials from standard collection streams.
Commercial Dumpster Rentals
Commercial clients receive dumpster rentals ranging from 2 to 8 cubic yards with weekly scheduled pickups. Container sizes accommodate varying business volumes, and special arrangements can be made for additional collection needs. This service supports diverse commercial operations in Rockford and surrounding areas.
