Groot brochure.
Single-family residences north of Oakton will have a Monday/Thursday pick-up schedule, with yardwaste collected on Mondays, recycling on Thursdays, and refuse collected both days.
For twice-a-week curbside refuse collection, residents are charged $24.20 per month. Groot bills residents every two months for the service. To establish service, new residents should call Groot at 800.244.1977. Refuse should be placed in thick, black garbage bags. Residents may now elect to rent a 95-gallon refuse cart for $2.50 per month -- please call Groot to arrange for this service. Only refuse carts provided by Groot are allowed at the curb. All other garbage cans are prohibited from being placed at the curb.
If you choose to dispose of yardwaste, it must be placed into a 30-gallon paper bag and have a $2.00 Arlington Heights yardwaste sticker affixed. The Village's yardwaste system is a pay-per- bag system instead of charging a flat rate to all homeowners for yardwaste service. These yardwaste bags and stickers are sold at local grocery and hardware stores.
Groot offers a Limited Yard Waste Subscription Program. Yard waste will still need to be bagged or bundled as described in the Groot brochure, however no stickers are necessary. Subscribers are permitted to place at the curb a total of
three (3) landscape waste bags or bundles, without stickers, on each landscape waste collection day between April 2 and October 9. Subscribers are permitted to place at the curb a total of
ten (10) landscape waste bags or bundles, without stickers, on each landscape waste collection day between October 15 and November 27 and between January 7 and January 15. The cost of this program is $120.00 per season. Residents who wish to sign-up for the yard waste subscription should contact Groot 800.244.1977. Yardwaste is collected from April through November only.
