City program details: Mount Prospect requires trash in carts, and garbage outside the cart that is not on the approved bulk-item list is not collected. Excess trash, non-bulk items, and construction debris over one cubic yard require a paid special pickup arranged with Republic Services.
Mount Prospect’s village program is structured, but it is strict: garbage outside the cart is not picked up unless it qualifies on the approved bulk list, and excess trash or construction debris over one cubic yard requires paid special pickup through Republic. The village also separates yard waste and hazardous waste pathways, which can slow urgent cleanouts for households facing move-out or HOA timing pressure.
Dropcurb picks up electronics same-day in Mount Prospect for $99 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Village programs work for planned disposal, not always for urgent cleanouts.
Mount Prospect residents have structured solid-waste options, but strict cart rules and special-pickup requirements can slow projects that need to move now. When a household has bulky items outside standard collection limits, paid special arrangements or alternate programs are required. That creates a speed gap for same-day curbside removal services.

What happens to your electronics after pickup
Electronics are recycled at R2- or e-Stewards-certified e-waste facilities. Devices are disassembled and sorted: circuit boards are processed for gold, silver, copper, and palladium recovery. Screens are separated for glass and lead processing. Plastics are shredded and recycled. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media are physically destroyed (shredded or degaussed) to ensure complete data destruction — no data leaves the facility intact. The $20 e-waste recycling fee covers the cost of certified handling and hazardous material processing.
