Better coverage of addresses in the Village is another benefit. With the new delivery method, all Gurnee addresses are included. A few unincorporated areas outside the Village limits will now receive this mailing as well. The Village has renewed its contract for residential refuse and recycling services with Waste Management. The contract includes expanded recycling opportunities, additional weeks of leaf pickup and a fall cleanup day.
Most boxes are either cardboard or chipboard, both of which are included in the recycling program.
Any plastic with such a code can be placed in the recycling bin after being rinsed clean. The recycling program is available to single-family dwellings, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums of up to eight units. Waste Management will begin picking up chipboard items effective immediately. Further information will be distributed by Waste Management regarding the type of chipboard and proper handling requirements. Residential Curbside Recycling Options IncreasedParticipation in curbside recycling has been strong.
