Garbage & Recycling 

The Village currently has a contract with Groot for all of our garbage and recycling needs. In addition to garbage and recycling, Groot also picks up yard waste and bulk items (couches, desks, etc.). Groot picks up garbage, recycling and yard waste on Monday of every week.  If Monday is a holiday, garbage will be picked up the following day.  If a resident has a question for Groot or would like to request a new garbage toter or recycling cart, they are encouraged to call Groot at (847) 734-6400 or go to their website at www.groot.com. Missed pickups and other problems must be reported immediately to Groot.

If you have a concern with Groot's service, drivers, or their customer service representatives, do not hesitate to call the Public Works Department at (847) 675-0888.
