New Citywide Refuse Service Provider - Groot Industries

The United City of Yorkville and Groot are pleased to announce that Groot will be the City’s exclusive provider for residential garbage and recycling collection beginning May 1, 2022. Groot will be delivering a new refuse and recycling cart beginning the last two weeks of April. Most households will receive the same cart size as they currently have, with a few exceptions listed here: https://www.yorkville.il.us/DocumentCenter/View/8161/Groot-Refuse-Flier?bidId=. Anyone that would like to change their cart size may contact Groot via email at yorkville@groot.com or 630-892-9294 before April 1st.

Existing Carts from Waste Management/Advanced Disposal: Carts will be removed after the last service day during the last week in April (April 25 - 29). Please leave your old waste and recycling carts at the curb so Waste Management can pick them up. Due to the number of carts, it may take an extra day or two to retrieve all the carts.
