Will County municipalities offer bulk item pickup through franchise haulers with advance scheduling. Joliet, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield provide 1-2 bulk items per week included or by call-ahead. Refrigerant appliances require freon tag. Household hazardous waste goes to Will County collection events, not curbside.
Bulk item collection is included in most Will County franchise contracts. Joliet Waste Management residents get one bulk item per week at no extra cost; Bolingbrook Republic Services offers up to two bulk items weekly; Plainfield Groot requires a scheduled call 48 hours ahead. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, rugs, and large appliances. Refrigerant-containing appliances (refrigerators, freezers, AC units, dehumidifiers) require professional refrigerant evacuation and a certification tag per 40 CFR Part 82 (EPA Clean Air Act Section 608). Electronics (TVs, monitors, computers) are banned from landfill under the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act (415 ILCS 150) and must go to drop-off events. Paint, batteries, pesticides, and pool chemicals are household hazardous waste handled by Will County Land Use Resource Recovery quarterly collection events. Construction debris, concrete, and yard waste are excluded from bulk and require contractor hauling or Laraway Transfer Station self-haul.
Illegal dumping of bulk items (roadside, forest preserve, vacant lot): $500 to $5,000 under 415 ILCS 5/55 and local ordinance. Unscheduled curbside placement: $50 to $200. Electronics at curb: $100 to $500 under 415 ILCS 150.
