Provisions of Refuse Contract

The City of Sycamore has approved a refuse contract with Waste Management that offers the citizens of Sycamore the following benefits and services:

Benefits

  • Free 96-gallon cart: The new refuse contract calls for a free 96-gallon cart for each home. New homeowners, please note the "toter service," as it calls for new homes to be issued a cart.
  • Recycling Bin Program: In an effort to promote recycling of materials with remaining useful life, the new contract provides that if anyone moves into a home and finds that there is not a recycling bin, they will be issued one at no charge.
