Trash containers should all be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday.

Trash Pick-up
The Village of Algonquin contracts with Waste Management to provide trash pick-up and recycling services. Separate Waste Management trucks pick-up the trash and recycling so each of these materials may be picked up at different times of the day. Algonquin uses a Pre-Paid Yellow Sticker program. One (1) prepaid sticker must be attached to each bag or container set out for collection. Bags and containers can not exceed the 50 pounds. Yellow trsah stickers cost $1.95 each.

• Trash must be in plastic bags or in a Waste Management container so that no trash will spill.
• Containers of trash must be placed at the curb nearest the Resident's driveway and not on the grass. Placing of trash containers on any portion of the Common Elements other than curbside is not permitted. Owners will be held responsible for any damage caused to the Common Elements.
• The Resident must remove any litter remaining on the ground after disposing of trash and after trash pick-up.
• Hazardous or flammable materials and construction debris shall not be deposited in the trash container. Residents should contact the Village of Algonquin for appropriate disposal location for such materials.
• All trash containers shall be returned to the Resident's garage as soon as possible after trash pick-up. Trash containers are to be placed out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before the scheduled pick-up day and must be removed from the common area no later than Midnight on the day of pick-up.
