Containers are limited in capacity to 34 gallons each.

As a convenience for our customers, we bill quarterly for residential waste hauling services. Billings are pro-rated from the date your service begins.
If your pickup falls on or after a holiday, pick up will be one day later that week only. Visit "Our Locations" page to see the list of holidays that are observed.
We can only dispose of paint if it is dry. The best way to do this is to pour kitty litter or sand in the can and leave the lid off until the paint is dry. Once it is dry, it can be disposed of with your regular trash.
BLH is the only place we know of in town that will take TVs for a fee. Periodically, there are sponsored drop-offs at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, which is usually announced in the newspaper.
