Large items are collected curbside through your city's hauler. The City of McHenry allows one bulk item per week on your refuse collection day at no extra charge; additional items cost $7.25 each and require advance notice to the hauler.
Bulk and oversized items are handled by each city's contracted hauler rather than the county. In the City of McHenry, residents may place one bulk item out per week on refuse collection day to be picked up at no additional charge; additional bulk items are $7.25 each and require advance notice to Flood Brothers. Other McHenry County cities offer similar programs, often with a per-item sticker or fee and advance scheduling for appliances containing refrigerants. Unincorporated residents arrange bulk pickup directly with their private hauler or haul items to a licensed transfer station. Illegal dumping of bulk items is separately prohibited.
Setting out extra bulk items without paying the fee may result in non-collection; dumping bulk items illegally is a citable nuisance.
