Village of River Grove

River Grove Residential Refuse, Recycling and Yard-Waste Collection Program

Dear River Grove Resident,

Please contact the Village of River Grove to inquire about residential waste and recycling services after August 31st, 2023.

The Village of River Grove phone number is 708-453-8000.​

LRS provides River Grove residents with services for refuse (garbage), recycling and yard waste. LRS offers many other services for River Grove residents including electronic waste drop-off location, organic food scrap compost service, portable restrooms and large, open top construction style containers.  We are proud to be a partner in your community!

For more information on the required scheduling collection for specific items or material types, please click on one of the tabs below.

Clarendon Hills Residential Waste & Recycling

Monday is the service day in River Grove. All garbage, recycling and yard waste will be collected between the times of 6AM and 7PM on your collection day. Service times are subject to change.

Garbage collection is limited. Residents are to use the LRS cart first for any garbage. Any garbage outside of the cart requires one River Grove waste sticker per bag or container. Please see below for more information on stickers. Residents may use a non-LRS cart or container for waste or recycling materials that do not fit into the LRS issued cart so long as it does not exceed 32 gallons, 50 lbs. and has two handles and a lid. One sticker must also be attached.

The River Grove waste sticker is yellow  and used for non-LRS personal owned containers with garbage, garbage placed outside of the LRS carts, loose bags of garbage, bulk items and white goods. See each section to learn how many stickers are required for items placed out.

Refuse Sticker Rate = $2.00 each

Stickers may be purchased at:

  • VILLAGE HALL: 2621 N THATCHER AVE RIVER GROVE IL 60171
  • BP GAS, MART & MCDONALDS: 8800 GRAND AVE (RIVER GROVE AND GRAND)

As has been the case in the past, residents are encouraged to co-mingle acceptable recyclable items in their recycling carts. All food-based recyclables should be rinsed. Plastic bags are not  recyclable, and should not be placed in recycling carts.

There is no limit to the amount of recyclables that residents can put out each week for collection. As is the case with waste items, recyclable items must be under 50lbs. LRS may reach out to residents who regularly generate more recyclables than will fit in their carts to recommend a larger or second container.

  • Recyclable items must be clean
  • NO used paper plates or pizza boxes, or fluorescent paper (they contaminate the paper stream with food, dye, or plastic coating) If pizza box top is clean you can tear it off and recycle it
  • NO paper towels, tissues, or napkins, which are not recyclable because the fibers are too small to reuse (please compost them with kitchen food scraps if possible)
  • NO shredded paper – Loose shredded paper causes major sorting problems in the recycling facilities
  • NO frozen food boxes, which are made of a hybrid of paper and plastic, and are not wanted by paper mills

What is considered yard waste?

Yard-waste, also known as landscape waste, consists of organic waste materials accumulated as the result of cultivation and maintenance of gardens, lawns, shrubbery, trees and vines.

Guidelines

Residents can elect to use paper bags, brown craft bags or personal cans (35 gallons or smaller) with all options 50lbs or less in weight, per. Please place brush, limbs, branches or trimmings in bundled or twined stacks no larger than 4’ in length and 18” in diameter, at your collection point.

Between January 2 through January 25th, we will begin to gladly collect your non-artificial Christmas trees as organic material – free of any tinsel, ornaments or lights.  Trees can be left loose (never in bags) in the area where you have regular service for trash and recycling. Due to snow and ice, trees may not always be picked up on your service day as our drivers and trucks will be in the village all month for pickups.

Bulk items (that do not fit into your refuse cart) are collected loose, on your regular day of service. If an item exceeds 50lbs, residents may need to call LRS to schedule a special pickup.

Each bulky item requires one waste sticker to service.

Mattresses and box/bed springs are required to be in a plastic mattress cover and taped securely shut.

Packaging wrap or trash bags cut up and taped around to cover a mattress or box spring are also acceptable options.

Yard waste may be placed neatly at the curb in waste containers. If using your own container for yard waste materials, it must have two handles and not exceed 35 gallons or 50 pounds when full, for safety reasons.

Yard waste may be placed in a biodegradable “Kraft” style or alike paper bag designed specifically for the collection and disposal of yard waste. Bags may not exceed 50 pounds in weight.

If the holiday falls on a weekday prior to your regular collection day, service will be the following day. Services will take place on Saturday during holiday weeks. Items still need to be placed out at 6AM on Saturday to ensure collection.
