Amnesty Day Scheduled for the Week of Oct. 1 - Oct. 5

For one day during the week of Oct. 1 - Oct. 5, Woodridge residents can have an unlimited amount of refuse picked up from their homes (with certain exceptions.)

Amnesty Day for 2012 will be on the normal garbage pick up day for Woodridge residents during the week of October 1 to October 5.

During this week, residents are allowed to dispose of an unlimited amount of refuse. A sticker must be placed on the first 5 items (garbage cans included).

Any additional items will be picked up without stickers. All items must be bagged, bundled and otherwise prepared for pick-up as they would on a regular collection day.
