Garbage and recycling service for the Village of North Utica began January 1, 2005. Each household is allowed to leave out up to three 32-gallon containers, not to exceed 40 pounds each. Garbage and recycling should be placed at the curb on Monday by 6:00 a.m.

     No oversize cans, barrels, or other makeshift containers will be emptied. Additional 32-gallon cans or bags can be removed with a garbage sticker applied. Garbage stickers are $1.00 each and are available at the Village Hall and Mill Street Market. If an individual has a large item, like a mattress or chair, they can call the Illinois Valley Waste Services office at 866-875-2293 to find out how many tags to place on that item to have it removed.

     The city residents will receive a Spring Clean up for household refuse and bulk items. Bulk items include such items as mattresses, or furniture like chairs, tables or couches. Each household may have one pile removed which is no larger than 4’ x 8’ x 3’.

     Oversized loads may be removed after making arrangements for payment with the Illinois Valley Waste Services office. White goods (appliances such as water heaters, washers, dryers, refrigerators) are included in the Spring clean up. They will be removed by a scrap metal hauler.

     Curbside recycling will be done on an every other week basis on Monday’s. Each household will be supplied on 18 gallon recycling bin. Additional bins are $10 each.
