Clean Up Days Gives Woodridge Residents Unlimited Trash Pickup

WOODRIDGE, IL — Forget spring cleaning; it's time for Clean Up Days in Woodridge. Oct. 7 through Oct. 11, Woodridge residents have a chance to unload large pieces of furniture and other bulkier items without paying extra for trash pickup.

The event was formerly called Amnesty Day.

To participate, residents must bundle and bag items when possible and have them ready on their regular trash collection day. Stickers are required for the first five items that would be tagged (including trash cans).

Any additional items do not require tags and will be picked up for free.

While Clean Up Days allows for quite an array of items to be collected, the following items will not be picked up:

• Electronic items
• Building materials
• Yard waste
• Hazardous waste

If you are billed directly through Groot or use a toter service, stickers for the first five items are not needed, according to a news release from the village.
