The Village of Bourbonnais has contracted with Republic Services to collect household garbage, recyclable materials and yard waste from all single-family residences within the Village. 

All household garbage is to be placed out for pick-up each week by 6:30 a.m. on your regular pick-up day or set out the night before. Household trash should be placed inside the toter(s) provided by Republic Services. If you are ever in need of a large dumpster or you feel you need a smaller toter, please contact Republic Service's Customer Service Department at 815-472-3332.

2. Apply a "Yard Waste" sticker to your own 35-gallon container. If you need additional yard waste stickers, please contact Republic Service's Customer Service Department at 815-472-3332 or email them at This email address is being protected from spambots.

3. Rent a 96-gallon yard waste container from Republic Services for an annual fee by contacting the customer service department at 815-472-3332.

PLEASE NOTE: Tree branches in excess of two inches in diameter will not be removed. Tree branches must be bundled in a maximum 2 feet in diameter and 4 feet in length and should weigh no more than 40 lbs. If you need brush pick-up, you can find more information on the Public Works page.
