2023-2024 Woodridge Refuse, Recycling, and Yard Waste Program Brochure
The 2023-2024 Woodridge Refuse, Recycling, and Yard Waste Program brochure is now available. The Village of Woodridge would like to remind residents of a few items of note related to Groot refuse collection services, including:
- Yard waste collection began on April 1 and will continue through December 15. Refuse and yard waste stickers will incur a ten-cent ($0.10) increase on the anniversary of the sixth year of the current contract, June 1, 2023. The new cost of a sticker will be $4.00. Any Groot stickers that have been already purchased will be honored.
- Clean-up week is scheduled for the fall, during the first full week of October on your regularly scheduled pick-up day. In 2023, the clean up week will start on October 2.
The Village has worked closely with the waste collection industry during the past decade to develop and maintain a program that meets the needs of residents and is environmentally responsible. For more information on garbage and recycling, click here.
