Free Spring Cleanup June 8-12: Village

OSWEGO, IL — The Village of Oswego said that Groot, it's contracted waste hauler, rescheduled free spring cleanup week for June 8-12.

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 their normally scheduled garbage day, for free. No stickers are required during free cleanup weeks. Simply put additional trash at the curb by 6 a.m. on garbage day.

Free yard waste collection was held in May 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.

All other garbage and recycling restrictions that were imposed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted. Residents are still asked to throw their recyclables in the trash if someone in their household is ill.
