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

Homewood Disposal provides bulk pickup service for Tinley Park residents to dispose of large items that do not fit in refuse carts: furniture (sofas, chairs, tables, dressers), mattresses and box springs, carpet and padding (rolled and bound), small appliances, and similar items. Bulk pickup typically requires advance scheduling (usually 24-48 hours) and a per-item fee. Large appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers) require professional freon recovery before disposal; contact Homewood Disposal or a licensed appliance recycler. Electronics (TVs, computers, monitors, printers) are banned from Illinois landfills under the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act and must go to e-waste collection events or drop-off sites such as retail take-back programs. Paint, pesticides, motor oil, and household hazardous waste go to household hazardous waste collection events (check SWALCO or Illinois EPA schedule). Construction debris from DIY projects requires a rented dumpster or self-haul to a transfer station; regular refuse collection does not include construction waste. Tire disposal requires a separate collection.
