Help Keep the Community Clean
We ask that you please have sufficient containers for all your rubbish. Empty cans should be picked up promptly, especially on windy days. By storing and controlling rubbish properly, you not only adhere to Village Ordinance, but cooperate with Nu-Way disposal to facilitate collection and thus help to keep collection rates as low as possible.
Programs in Place to Handle E-Waste
The Illinois Electronic Product Recycling and Reduce Act went into effect on January 1, 2012. This law bans all
electronics from going into landfills since these products contain hazardous material. Therefore NuWay will
no longer pick up the following items: Televisions, monitors, printers, computers, electronic keyboards, fax
machines, videocassette recorders, portable digital music players, video game consoles, servers, scanners,
electronic mice, digital converter boxes, cable receivers, satellite receivers, and digital video disc recorders.
To accommodate residents who wish to dispose of the aforementioned, Will County has contracted with Vintage
Tech Recyclers that will pick-up e-waste from residents for no-charge. Residents may call (866) 631-1707,
