Glen Elllyn Starts Unlimited Refuse Collection Monday

GLEN ELLYN, IL — The village of Glen Ellyn will begin its unlimited refuse collection Monday. The biannual service was rescheduled for the week of June 15 due to the new coronavirus shutdown.

To take part in the unlimited trash collection, households must be located in incorporated Glen Ellyn. Multi-family buildings and commercial buildings are excluded from the collection, but townhomes will be included.

The village urges residents to put their items at the curb by 7 a.m. on their trash pickup day to ensure collection. Refuse items must be separate from normal household trash and recycling items, officials said in an update.

Refuse materials that aren't large items must be bundled or placed in a container. Bundles must be no more than four feet long.

Items that will not be collected include:

• Electronics
• Concrete, bricks and broken glass that are not in containers
• Fencing that is not in a container
• Liquids
• Utility sinks and tubs
