Garbage, Recycling, and Lawn Waste Pick-up
for the City of Kankakee

Garbage Collection Map and Service Calendar

Environmental Services (Public Works) (815) 933-0472

Allied Waste (815) 472-3332

Garbage- All residents have been given a 95 gallon container.  Residents can request a smaller container (if they wish) of 65 gallon or 35 gallon.  Allied will downsize your container for free only one time, after that there will be a fee.  The containers should be put out only 24 hours before scheduled pick up.  Code will issue citations if left out on street. 

Large Items- Items that do not fit in your container will be picked up once a month by Allied Waste.  This is usually the 3^rd week of each month on your regular service day, but please check your schedule to make sure.  Allied Waste will pick up one large bulk item          (not more than 2 cu. yards) per month.  If you have excess bulk items, please contact Public Works for a special pick-up and pricing.   

Recycle- The recycle can is clearly marked with a gray lid and the words “recycle” on it.  Recyclables will be picked up every other week.  It is not necessary to separate recyclable items (glass, metal, plastic, and paper) Styrofoam packing material is not recyclable. 

Lawn Waste- Lawn waste pick up season is from April 1 through November 30.  The containers can be used for grass, small sticks and other yard waste. There are 3 options for pick up. 

1)      You may purchase brown paper lawn waste bags from area hardware stores.

2)      You may rent a lawn waste container from Allied for $30 per year.  It is a 95 gallon container that will be picked up weekly throughout season.

3)      You may use old garbage containers.  They must be 35 gallons or less, not weigh more than 50 pounds, and have a yard waste sticker on the container itself.  Stickers can be picked up at City Hall, Aqua, or by calling Allied. 

YARD WASTE IN PLASTIC BAGS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

Seasonal clean up and storm clean up- This will be handled by Public Works.  This includes large tree branches and major yard waste like bushes or shrubs that can not fit in lawn waste containers.  Please call Environmental Services (Public Works) if you have yard waste that needs to be picked up.

Illinois Bill of Rights for Victims and Witnesses of Violent Crime
If you are the victim of a violent crime, you automatically have the right to:

• Be told of an upcoming parole hearing for the offender, including information on your right to make a statement at the hearing.

• Be notified if the offender escapes from prison and if the prisoner is later recaptured.

• Be given information about social services and financial help available to crime victims and how to get that assistance.

• Have a state's attorney or victim advocate talk to your employer so you don't lose pay because you had to appear in court.  (This right also applies to witnesses).

• Have property that was used as evidence returned to you promptly.

• Be spoke to in a language you understand.
