The City of Joliet contracts with Waste Management for residential waste services. Bulk items such as furniture and appliances are not collected through regular curbside service. Residents must arrange separate pickup through Waste Management or rent a container (10, 15, 20, or 30 cubic yard sizes) for home improvement projects. The city periodically makes Bagster containers available at City Hall for resident use.
Joliet's bulk waste disposal is governed by Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code (Municipal Waste). Standard curbside collection does not include large bulk items such as furniture, mattresses, or appliances. Residents needing bulk disposal must contact Waste Management at 815-280-7854 to arrange pickup or rent a roll-off container. Container sizes range from 10 to 30 cubic yards. The city has also partnered with Waste Management to provide Bagster containers at City Hall for residents at reduced cost. Electronics and hazardous waste must be disposed of through Will County's designated collection events, not through curbside service. Construction debris from home renovation projects requires a separate container rental.
Placing bulk items at the curb without arranging pickup may result in code enforcement citations. Illegal dumping of bulk waste is subject to fines under the municipal waste ordinance.
