Scavenger service is provided exclusively by Allied Waste Services.  Residential refuse will be picked up once a week at the curb.  The maximum size container that can be used is 32 gallons.  The cost of garbage removal is added to your water/sewer bill.  By ordinance no trash containers may be placed out for collection prior to 6:00 p.m. the evening prior to your designated pickup day, and must be out prior to 7:00 a.m. of your scheduled day of collection.  Bulky items (furniture, appliance, etc.) will be picked up at no extra charge, although Allied does request a courtesy call when these items will be disposed of.  They can be reached at (708) 385-8252.  If disposing of carpet, they ask it to be cut into no longer than 4' sections, rolled and bound.  Please remember when disposing of refrigerators or freezers to remove the doors as a precautionary measure.
