Village Schedules Free Spring Cleanup June 8-12

OSWEGO, IL — Groot, the Village of Oswego's contracted waste hauler, has rescheduled free spring cleanup week for June 8-12, the Village said in a community alert.

The collection, originally scheduled for April 20-24, was postponed to help protect waste haulers and slow the spread of COVID-19. During this cleanup, Groot will collect additional household waste and bulk items for all Village residents, on the normally scheduled garbage days, for free.

No stickers are required during free cleanup weeks. Residents can put their additional trash at the curb by 6 a.m. on garbage day. Free yard waste collection has passed and will not be included in this spring cleanup collection. Residents cannot put out appliances or televisions. Call Groot at 630-892-9294 to schedule a pick up for these items.

Restrictions lifted beginning next week

All other garbage and recycling restrictions will be lifted beginning Monday, May 18. Residents are still asked to throw their recyclables in the trash if someone in their household is ill.
