Oak Park, IL Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk item pickup in Oak Park is available by appointment through Waste Management. Residents can schedule collection of large household items including furniture, mattresses, and appliances by calling Waste Management or the village's Public Works Department. Some items may require special handling fees — appliances containing refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners) typically require an additional charge for proper Freon removal. Items should be placed at the curb on the scheduled pickup day. Construction and demolition debris is not accepted through regular or bulk collection and must be disposed of through a private contractor. Electronics including TVs, computers, and monitors are accepted at village-sponsored electronic waste collection events held periodically throughout the year. Household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, batteries) is collected at special events — check the village website for dates. The village also offers a seasonal leaf collection program using curbside vacuum trucks in the fall. Contact Public Works at (708) 358-5700 to schedule bulk pickup.
