Acceptable Items: White Goods/Bulk Items Amnesty Week

YORKVILLE, IL — October 15 through 19 is White Goods/Bulk Items Amnesty Week in Yorkille. The United City of Yorkville said during your normal garbage day next week, you may put an unlimited amount of white goods and bulk items out for collection for no extra charge. Because only one round will be made by Advanced Disposal, all white goods/bulk items must be on the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular garbage day, city officials said.

Acceptable white good items include refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, water softeners, clothes dryers, air conditioners and more. However, any white goods items containing PCBs will not be collected.

Acceptable bulk items include bookcases, carpet rolls cut into 4-foot length sections, weighing less than 50 pounds each, mattresses, box springs and more.

City officials said chemicals, decks, auto parts, large construction waste, and paints are among the list of items that won't be accepted.

The full list of acceptable and unacceptable items can be found on the United City of Yorkville White Goods/Bulk Items page.

Electronics recycling is now part of the City's solid waste and recycling collection services provided by Advanced Disposal, and more information can be found at yorkville.il.us.170/E-Waste-Recycling.
