Concrete, Rock, Shingles, or Brick

Clean Aggregate Cropped Concrete, rock, shingles, or brick can be collected curbside, but Solid Waste Program customers must call Public Works for an estimate and to arrange for collection. Each material must be placed in a separate pile behind the curb and must be cleaned so that it does not contain dirt. Dirt, sod, or any other waste that includes dirt are not acceptable. The charge is $50 for 35 pounds or less and $100 per bucket (about 2.5 cubic yards) for more than 35 pounds.

Customers may also take concrete, rock, shingles, or brick to the Citizen Convenience Center. Each material must be cleaned so that it does not contain dirt. However, the charge is the same as curbside collection.

Drop-Off Requirements

Materials may not be able to be dropped off if these requirements are not followed.

There is no limit on the amount of leaves, brush, garden trimmings, appliances, empty propane tanks, or grass and thatch clippings when the work was completed by a Solid Waste Program customer.
Businesses, contractors, persons for hire or barter, private organizations, and not-for-profit organizations are not permitted to use the Citizen Convenience Center. Commercial or contractor vehicles displaying company markings on the vehicle will not be allowed.
Customers must provide a City utility bill addressed to the user that shows that the user is billed for the program and either a valid Illinois Driver’s License or valid Illinois State ID Card with name matching the utility bill. All documentation must be shown to staff at the facility.
