Will the city take it?
Lombard does not run its own collection. Waste Management collects refuse and recycling weekly under contract with the Village, and every oversized item moves through a sticker system or a scheduled bulk pickup with published rates. Yard waste, bundled brush and compost run on a season that opens the first full week of April and closes in the second full week of December, with a separate free leaf collection in the fall and a free Christmas tree pickup in January.
