The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Glen Ellyn runs a sticker program rather than a booking queue. One wheeled refuse cart goes out every Monday without a sticker, and anything beyond the cart needs a refuse sticker on it: bags and containers up to 33 gallons, and large items such as furniture, carpet rolls and white goods, with one sticker per item under fifty pounds. A king size mattress has to be folded in half and tied, and construction type debris goes out in containers or bundles no longer than four feet. Yard waste follows the same Monday collection from April through mid-December in kraft paper bags or unlined 33 gallon containers with a green yard waste sticker, and leaves get a cheaper sticker from September onward. Collection is set out no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before and must be at the curb early Monday morning.

City cost & eligibility
From $3.52 for one refuse sticker per bulky item, with refuse and yard waste stickers costing $3.52 each effective August 1, 2026, and items under fifty pounds requiring a single sticker. Glen Ellyn residences on the village curbside program, with the sticker affixed to the item before collection. Appliances that the state classes as white goods, such as refrigerators, ovens and washers, are collected separately for recycling after the hauler is called to schedule the collection and arrange payment.
When & how
Put the stickered item at the curb for the Monday collection, no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before and at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, or call Groot on 847-429-7370 before the service day to arrange a special pickup that carries an extra charge.
Get it ready
Affix one sticker to each bulky item under fifty pounds, fold a king size mattress in half and tie it, break a swing set or old carpet into sections and bundle or containerise them, and keep every bundle no longer than four feet. Construction type material goes out in containers or bundles of fifty pounds or less, no larger than two feet in diameter, with nails removed or bent over and glass panes taped.
Yard waste is collected every Monday from April through mid-December in kraft paper bags or unlined 33 gallon containers with a green yard waste sticker on each bag, container or bundle, and leaves use a cheaper sticker from September onward.
City cost & eligibility
From $3.52 for one green yard waste sticker per bag, container or bundle at $3.52 each effective August 1, 2026, with the discounted yellow leaf sticker at $1.76 for leaves separated out from September through mid-December. Glen Ellyn residences on the village curbside program. Each bag, container or bundle needs its own sticker, branches have to meet the size limits, and the discounted leaf sticker applies only to containers that hold leaves alone.
When & how
Put the stickered yard waste at the curb for the Monday collection between April and mid-December, separately from the regular refuse so the crew can tell the loads apart.
Get it ready
Use kraft paper bags, never plastic, or unlined 33 gallon containers with the sticker on the outside, keep branches under three inches in diameter, four feet in length and fifty pounds, and keep leaves separate if you want the cheaper leaf sticker because a leaf container may hold nothing else. Sod is treated as refuse rather than yard waste.
The village also runs a branch and brush collection from mid-May through mid-October with no stickers, on area based weeks set by whether the home is north or south of Hill Avenue.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Glen Ellyn residences in the branch and brush program, which the village guide lists with no sticker required. Residents on Hill and north of Hill Avenue are collected in the second Monday to Thursday of the month and residents south of Hill Avenue in the third, and the material must be from trees and shrubs and stacked neatly.
When & how
Stack the brush at the curb in the collection week for the address between mid-May and mid-October, and keep it away from the yard waste because a brush pile may not contain yard waste.
Get it ready
Leave the brush loose and neatly stacked rather than bundled or containerised, keep branches under ten inches in diameter and from trees and shrubs only, and keep stumps, roots, dirt, construction wood, lumber, branches with nails or spikes, wooden fence pieces and professionally cut trimmings out of the pile because the program refuses them.
Refuse, recycling and yard waste are collected every Monday, or Tuesday when Monday is a holiday. Village ordinance prohibits putting garbage, recycling or yard waste at the curb before 4:30 p.m. on the day before collection, items have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and carts come back in within twenty four hours. The hauler's own page asks for 6 a.m., so follow the earlier time when in doubt.
One wheeled refuse cart a week and unlimited recycling need no sticker. Anything else does: refuse and yard waste stickers cost $3.52 each and leaf stickers cost $1.76 from August 1, 2026, sold at the village vendors and by mail from Groot on 847-429-7370. Large items take additional refuse stickers affixed to the item, with one sticker for anything under fifty pounds.
A bulky item goes out with a sticker attached and has to be manageable for the crew: one sticker for an item under fifty pounds, a king size mattress folded in half and tied, carpet and swing sets broken into sections and bundled or containerised, and every bundle no longer than four feet. Construction type material belongs in containers or bundles of fifty pounds or less and no more than two feet in diameter, with nails removed or bent over and glass panes taped for the crew's safety.
Yard waste goes out separately from the refuse so the crew can tell the loads apart, in kraft paper bags or unlined 33 gallon containers with a green sticker on each bag, container or bundle. Branches must be under three inches in diameter, four feet long and fifty pounds, leaves can use the cheaper leaf sticker from September through mid-December in containers that hold leaves alone, and branch and brush piles ride their own area based weeks from mid-May through mid-October with no sticker and no bundling.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Village of Glen Ellyn curbside program with Groot Industries
Use the weekly collection with stickers
A Glen Ellyn household with extra bags, a piece of furniture, a mattress, carpet or yard waste to send away on the Monday route.
Cost & conditions
From $3.52 for one sticker per additional bag, container, bundle or bulky item, with refuse and yard waste stickers at $3.52 each and leaf stickers at $1.76 from August 1, 2026. Glen Ellyn residences on the village curbside program, with the sticker on the item and the item at the curb no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before and by 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Arrange it
Buy the stickers from a village vendor or by mail from Groot, attach one to each item, bag or bundle, and put everything at the curb for the Monday collection.
The cart is the free part, so anything outside it costs a sticker, appliances still have to be scheduled with the hauler, and the size and weight limits on bundles, carpet and mattresses all apply.
Village of Glen Ellyn curbside program with Groot Industries
Arrange a special pickup with the hauler
A household that missed the collection, has an appliance to recycle, or has a bundle or bag over the sticker allowance.
Cost & conditions
The hauler charges an extra, unpublished amount for each extra bundle or bag and for a scheduled white goods collection, so confirm the price with Groot on 847-429-7370 before the pickup.
Arrange it
Call Groot on 847-429-7370 before the service day for an extra bundle or bag, and before noon the day after the scheduled collection for a missed pickup, then follow the scheduling the office gives.
A missed collection has to be reported quickly, a special pickup is an extra charge rather than part of the sticker price, and an appliance still has to be prepared and stickered as the office directs.
Village of Glen Ellyn curbside program with Groot Industries
Wait for the biennial unlimited refuse collection
A household with a garage or basement full of odds and ends that the weekly stickered route would price item by item.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Put the material at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, which may start as early as 4:30 p.m. the Sunday before, and expect the pickup to take several days.
The published collection week of April 13, 2026 is the biennial event, so the next one is two years later; multi family and commercial buildings are excluded although townhome residents may take part, yard waste is not included and still needs yard waste stickers, construction material is limited to two cubic yards in containers or bundles under fifty pounds, and electronics, concrete, bricks, broken glass, loose fencing, household hazardous waste, liquids and utility sinks or tubs are refused.
