Garbage and Recycling Collection

Service Details

The City of Sycamore is contracted with Waste Management to provide refuse and recycling services for citizens within Sycamore proper. Residents outside of city limits are responsible for procuring these services on their own.

  • Each resident will be issued (1) 95-gallon refuse cart and (1) 64-gallon recycling cart, both serviced weekly.
  • Residents have the option to request a smaller (64-gallon) refuse cart and/or a larger (96-gallon) recycling cart for a one-time exchange fee of $30.
  • Seniors can request a smaller 35-gallon refuse and/or recycling cart by contacting City Hall.
  • If additional carts are needed, residents may rent them for $3.00 per month.
  • Waste Management owns and is responsible for the routine maintenance of the carts.  However, if any damage occurs due to the resident's negligence, the resident will be held responsible for repairs or replacement.
