Couch & furniture removal in Hoffman Estates

City collection A couch is not named as regular curbside trash, so it falls into the village's oversized pickup, which is the route for oversized or overweight items and for a large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard. That pickup is scheduled with Groot and billed by the cubic yard. A small piece that fits the bag rules can still go out beside the toter with the regular collection. The village publishes no rate for an oversized pickup because Groot gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price with Groot at 847-734-6400 before setting it out. A piece small enough to fit the bag and weight limits goes out at no extra charge beside the toter.

Mattress & bed removal in Hoffman Estates

City collection The village states that Groot is generally able to pick up mattresses at the curb with the regular trash service, which makes a mattress one of the few large items that does not need a special pickup. A mattress larger than a twin or full, meaning queen or larger, has to be secured in a fold or roll with tape, string or bungee cords so a single employee can lift it. No charge. Collected with the regular weekly trash service under the monthly residential rate that the village bills on the water bill, with no extra charge published for a mattress.

Bags & household clutter in Hoffman Estates

City collection The village publishes two ways to clear clutter. Small overflow goes out beside the toter at no extra charge, because additional bags or items that will not fit securely in the toter are collected if they are set at the curb next to it, as long as bags stay within 32 gallons and nothing exceeds 50 pounds. Everything past that, meaning oversized or overweight items or debris exceeding one cubic yard, is an oversized pickup that Groot quotes and bills by the cubic yard. Overflow that fits the bag rules is collected beside the toter at no extra charge under the monthly residential rate. A larger amount is billed by the cubic yard through Groot, which gives the estimate, so confirm the load and the price at 847-734-6400.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Hoffman Estates runs a franchised service rather than an open market. The village states that its residential agreement with Groot Industries for solid waste and recycling runs through April 30, 2031, that residential services cover solid waste, recyclables and compostable material including yard waste, and that the same franchise requires all roll-off containers and all commercial hauling to go through Groot. Garbage, recycling and yard waste are each collected once a week on the same day in a service area, by separate trucks, with residences north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway serviced on Mondays and residences south of it on Wednesdays. The village lets residents put out additional bags or items that will not fit securely in the toter, as long as the bags stay within 32 gallons and nothing goes over 50 pounds. Three things make large item clearance unusually direct here: white goods pickups are scheduled with Groot at no additional charge on a separate Wednesday, Groot generally takes mattresses at the curb with the regular trash, and electronics go out two items a week at no cost with a pre-arranged pickup. Anything bigger than that, meaning debris exceeding one cubic yard, is an oversized pickup that Groot quotes and bills by the cubic yard.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Special rules apply

A couch is not named as regular curbside trash, so it falls into the village's oversized pickup, which is the route for oversized or overweight items and for a large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard. That pickup is scheduled with Groot and billed by the cubic yard. A small piece that fits the bag rules can still go out beside the toter with the regular collection.

City cost & eligibility
The village publishes no rate for an oversized pickup because Groot gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price with Groot at 847-734-6400 before setting it out. A piece small enough to fit the bag and weight limits goes out at no extra charge beside the toter.
When & how
Call Groot at 847-734-6400 to book the oversized pickup, and hold the piece until the pickup is arranged. For a small piece on the regular route, have it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, which is Monday for residences north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday for residences south of it.
Get it ready
Keep the piece off the curb until the oversized pickup is scheduled, and never set it out before 6 p.m. the night before collection. If the piece goes out with the regular service, keep it within the bag limits of 32 gallons and 50 pounds, keep the toter lid shut, and bag anything loose so it cannot blow away.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

The village states that Groot is generally able to pick up mattresses at the curb with the regular trash service, which makes a mattress one of the few large items that does not need a special pickup. A mattress larger than a twin or full, meaning queen or larger, has to be secured in a fold or roll with tape, string or bungee cords so a single employee can lift it.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected with the regular weekly trash service under the monthly residential rate that the village bills on the water bill, with no extra charge published for a mattress.
When & how
Put the mattress out with the regular collection, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, which is Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it. Nothing has to be scheduled for a mattress that meets the preparation rule.
Get it ready
Fold or roll a queen or larger mattress and secure it with tape, string or bungee cords, because the village asks for that so one employee can lift it. Keep the mattress out of the recycling toter, which is for aluminum, glass, plastic, paper and cardboard only, and set it out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances, which the village calls white goods, are collected at no additional charge, but not on the ordinary truck. The village states that an appliance requires a separate pickup that takes place on Wednesdays, and that the pickup has to be arranged with Groot in advance.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The village states that appliance pickup is available at no additional charge to residents who schedule it with Groot in advance, under the same residential service covered by the monthly rate on the water bill.
When & how
Call Groot at 847-734-6400 in advance and the appliance is collected on the Wednesday pickup rather than on the regular route. The regular collection day is separate, so a refrigerator put out on the ordinary service day is not the arrangement the village publishes.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove food, water and loose parts before it goes out. Keep it out of the refuse toter, which is limited to 32 gallon bags and 50 pounds, and keep it out of the recycling toter. Confirm with Groot when booking whether the unit still holds refrigerant and whether anything has to be removed first.

Electronics and televisions

Accepted with preparation

Illinois bans televisions, computer monitors and cellphones from landfills, and Hoffman Estates offers three ways to keep them out: a curbside pickup, a seasonal drop-off at Village Hall, and a weekly collection run by the county solid waste agency. Groot takes two electronic items a week at no cost with a pre-arranged curbside collection, and the seasonal Village Hall drop-off is free for residents of the agency's communities.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Groot collects two electronic items per week at no cost when the pickup is pre-arranged at least 24 hours ahead, and the seasonal Village Hall drop-off and the weekly county collection are free for residents of SWANCC communities with proof of residency. The exception is a tube television weighing more than 50 pounds, which carries a $50 charge on the Groot pickup.
When & how
Call Groot at 847-734-6400 or 800.244.1977 at least 24 hours ahead for the curbside electronics pickup. The seasonal drop-off at Village Hall, 1900 Hassell Road, runs on Mondays from 10 a.m. to noon on its 2026 dates from April 6 through November 16, and the county collection at the Glenview Transfer Station, 3 Providence Way in Des Plaines, runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. year round.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover, and tape the terminals of rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries because that is required before they go in a collection bin. Keep electronic items out of the recycling toter, and check the seasonal accepted list before loading, because calculators, cameras, microwaves, power tools, shredders, small home appliances, stereo equipment and typewriters are not taken at that site. Small electronics, ink and toner cartridges, bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats go to the year-round lobby drop-off at Village Hall from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

Renovation and cleanout debris has one published route in Hoffman Estates, and it runs through the village franchise. The village states that the refuse franchise programme requires all permanent and temporary roll-off dumpsters to be provided through Groot, whether the work is a resident remodelling or a contractor at a commercial or residential construction site, and that a citation may be issued by Code Enforcement if any other dumpster is used.

City cost & eligibility
Groot sets the roll-off price by container and service, and the village publishes no rate for it, so confirm the container size and the price with the Groot roll-off department at 847-734-6400. Code Enforcement at 847-781-2631 handles a citation for a container supplied by anyone else.
When & how
Order the container before the work starts. The village does not publish a collection day for renovation material, and a remodel load is not eligible for the ordinary weekly route because the bag and weight limits are 32 gallons and 50 pounds.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the refuse toter and out of the recycling toter, and keep it out of the curbside pile. Use only a Groot roll-off container on the site, because another company's dumpster can bring a citation that requires an appearance before the village adjudication hearing officer.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the village's regular collection rules, so a treadmill or weight machine falls to the oversized pickup, which the village describes for oversized or overweight items and for a large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard. Groot quotes that pickup and bills it by the cubic yard.

City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published. The oversized pickup is arranged with Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price at 847-734-6400 before it goes out.
When & how
Book the pickup with Groot at 847-734-6400 and hold the machine until the pickup is set. A piece small enough to meet the bag limits can instead go beside the toter on the regular service day, which is Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it will come apart, take the console off the frame, and tape the terminals of any removable battery pack or hand the pack over separately. Keep the machine out of both toters and keep it off the curb until the pickup is arranged.

Bulk items and household clutter

Special rules apply

The village publishes two ways to clear clutter. Small overflow goes out beside the toter at no extra charge, because additional bags or items that will not fit securely in the toter are collected if they are set at the curb next to it, as long as bags stay within 32 gallons and nothing exceeds 50 pounds. Everything past that, meaning oversized or overweight items or debris exceeding one cubic yard, is an oversized pickup that Groot quotes and bills by the cubic yard.

City cost & eligibility
Overflow that fits the bag rules is collected beside the toter at no extra charge under the monthly residential rate. A larger amount is billed by the cubic yard through Groot, which gives the estimate, so confirm the load and the price at 847-734-6400.
When & how
Overflow bags go out with the regular collection, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it. A large amount is scheduled with Groot in advance, and the village names spring cleanup, move-in and move-out rubbish as the typical loads.
Get it ready
Keep every bag within 32 gallons and every bag or box within 50 pounds, tie bags shut and seal boxes so nothing can fall out or blow away, and set the toter lid shut with the overflow beside it. Anything set out before 6 p.m. the night before collection is outside the rules, and the toter has to be back in by 10 p.m. on the collection day.

Yard waste, leaves and limbs

Accepted with preparation

Yard waste has unusually generous terms here. Residents can put out unlimited yard waste on the regular collection day from April through November, the service is included in the regular refuse fee, and no stickers are required. Grass clippings, leaves, branches, brush and planting material can go out in paper bags, in rigid containers or in a rented Groot yard cart, and Public Works also runs a free branch pickup in spring and fall.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Unlimited yard waste is included in the regular residential refuse fee from April through November and requires no stickers. A Groot yard waste toter is optional and rents separately at $30 a year, billed at $2.50 a month.
When & how
Yard waste goes out on the regular collection day, at the curb by 7 a.m., from the beginning of April through the end of November. A separate two-week collection for holiday trees and greenery runs on the first two pickups in January, and the free Public Works branch pickup typically runs from the end of April through May and from the end of September through October.
Get it ready
Use paper landscape bags up to 50 pounds, or resident supplied rigid containers up to 50 pounds or 32 gallons, or a Groot yard cart, and use only 30-gallon biodegradable Kraft paper bags rather than plastic. Tie brush in bundles up to 50 pounds, five feet long and 24 inches in diameter with no limb over three inches. Food scraps can go in a rigid container or the Groot yard cart but never in paper bags. Keep garden vegetables and fruit, tree trunks, stumps and large limbs, fence posts, railroad ties, firewood, sod, earth and rocks out of the pile, because those are treated as garbage.

Paint, chemicals, batteries and bulbs

Special rules apply

Hazardous material does not go out with the garbage. The village states that insecticides and oil based paint cannot by law be disposed of through the regular pickup, and it points to a household hazardous waste facility in Naperville, open on weekends, for household quantities. Batteries, bulbs, ink cartridges, mercury thermometers and thermostats have their own drop-off at Village Hall.

City cost & eligibility
The village publishes no fee for the Naperville household hazardous waste facility, so confirm the material and the terms there on 630-420-6095 before the trip. The Village Hall lobby drop-off for batteries, bulbs, cartridges, mercury thermometers and thermostats is a village programme with no published charge.
When & how
The Naperville facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and accepts household waste only, with no business or medical waste. The year-round Village Hall lobby drop-off at 1900 Hassell Road runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and bulbs have to be handed to staff at the help desk.
Get it ready
Package items safely for transit and carry them in the trunk, as the village recommends. Tape the terminals of rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries before they go in a collection bin. Put mercury thermometers and wall thermostats in a sealed plastic bag. Latex based paint and used cooking oil are the exception the state exempts from hazardous collection, and both may go in the trash only after they are made solid, for example by mixing in kitty litter and sealing the container, because Groot will not take either in liquid form.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Everything goes out by 7 a.m. on the service day

Garbage, recycling and yard waste are each collected once a week on the same day for a service area, by different trucks, so one day covers all three streams. Materials have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. when collection begins, and Groot will not return for toters and bags set out late. Nothing goes out before 6 p.m. the night before, and the toter has to be taken back in by 10 p.m. on the collection day.

Monday north of the tollway, Wednesday south of it

The village splits collection by the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway. Residences north of it are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Because routes can vary weekly and holidays shift the schedule, the village publishes the service area map and delays collection by one day for the remainder of a holiday week.

Village of Hoffman Estates with Groot Industries

Use the weekly curbside service and the overflow allowance

A residence inside the village with household trash, recycling, yard waste or a small overflow beside the toter.

Cost & conditions
$20.95 for monthly regular curb service rate billed by the village in advance on the water bill under the schedule that took effect May 1, 2026, with a lower senior or hardship rate published separately and a separate yard waste toter rental at $30 a year. Residences inside the village limits; recycling and refuse toters and unlimited yard waste pickup are included in the rate, and service changes and billing questions go to the village at 847-843-4824.
Arrange it
Set the garbage toter and any overflow bags at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it, and put recycling out the same day in the green toter. Yard waste goes out on the same day from April through November.

Garbage goes only in plastic bags or Groot toters, with the lid shut. Bags cannot exceed 32 gallons and bags or boxes cannot exceed 50 pounds, and overweight or overcapacity containers are not picked up. On non-collection days the toters have to be stored behind the front building line of the property.

Village of Hoffman Estates with Groot Industries

Schedule the appliance, electronics and oversized pickups with Groot

A residence with an appliance, two electronic items, a couch, an exercise machine or a load over one cubic yard.

Cost & conditions
Appliance pickup is published at no additional charge when scheduled in advance and runs on Wednesdays, and two electronic items a week are collected at no cost when the pickup is arranged at least 24 hours ahead. The oversized pickup for a large item or a load over one cubic yard is priced by Groot as an estimate and billed by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price at 847-734-6400.
Arrange it
Call Groot at 847-734-6400, and for electronics the line is 800.244.1977. Schedule appliance pickup in advance for the Wednesday run, schedule the electronics pickup at least 24 hours ahead, and arrange the oversized pickup before the load goes out.

Every special pickup has to be arranged before the item is set at the curb, and the oversized rate depends on the cubic yardage of the load rather than a flat item price. A tube television weighing more than 50 pounds carries a charge on the electronics pickup rather than the two free item allowance.

With a new purchase

Order a Groot roll-off container for a remodel or cleanout

A remodel, a major cleanout or a construction site that produces more debris than the weekly service can take.

Cost & conditions
Groot sets the container price by size and service and the village publishes no rate for it, so confirm the container and the price with the Groot roll-off department at 847-734-6400. Orders go through the village refuse franchise and cannot be placed with another hauler.
Arrange it
Order the container before the work starts, have Groot deliver it to the site and collect it when the work is finished. The village states that all permanent and temporary roll-off dumpsters must be provided through Groot, for residents and for contractors alike.

A dumpster supplied by any company other than Groot can bring a village citation, which requires an appearance before the adjudication hearing officer, with Code Enforcement at 847-781-2631. Renovation debris is not eligible for the weekly curbside route.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Hoffman Estates is a franchised collection village rather than a drop-off city, so self haul means the special programmes rather than a municipal transfer station. The village points household hazardous waste to the Naperville facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive, next to the Naperville Public Works Service Center, open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with only household waste allowed and no business or medical waste, and the village recommends packaging items safely and carrying them in the trunk, with questions going to 630-420-6095. Electronics are the other self haul route: the seasonal drop-off at Village Hall on 1900 Hassell Road runs on Mondays from 10 a.m. to noon on its 2026 dates from April 6 through November 16, free for residents of SWANCC communities with proof of residency, and the agency also runs a weekly collection at the Glenview Transfer Station on 3 Providence Way in Des Plaines on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Village Hall also takes small electronics, printer ink and toner cartridges, CFL and fluorescent light bulbs handed to staff, mercury thermometers and wall thermostats in a sealed bag, and batteries with the terminals taped, year round from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For bulk material the franchise points the other way: all permanent and temporary roll-off dumpsters have to come through Groot, and a container supplied by anyone else can bring a village citation, so a self hauled remodel load is not the route the village publishes.

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

Where should Hoffman Estates residents verify a large-item disposal route?

Use Village of Hoffman Estates Electronics Recycling; contact Hoffman Estates Public Works at 847-490-6800 when the official page does not resolve the exact item, address, timing, or charge.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a couch in Hoffman Estates?

Call Groot at 847-734-6400 and arrange an oversized pickup for it. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, with an estimate first and billing by the cubic yard. A piece small enough to meet the bag rules can go out beside the toter on the regular collection day instead.Official guidance

Will Groot take a mattress at the curb?

The village states that Groot is generally able to pick up mattresses with the regular trash service, and that a mattress larger than a twin or full, meaning a queen or larger, must be secured in a fold or roll with tape, string or bungee cords so one employee can lift it. Put it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, which is Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it.Official guidance

How do I schedule an appliance pickup in Hoffman Estates?

Call Groot at 847-734-6400 in advance. The village states that appliances, also called white goods, require a separate pickup from the regularly scheduled service, that it takes place on Wednesdays, and that there is no additional charge for it. The pickup has to be arranged before the appliance goes out.Official guidance

Where can I recycle electronics in Hoffman Estates?

There are three published options. Groot picks up two electronic items a week at no cost when the pickup is arranged at least 24 hours ahead, the seasonal drop-off at Village Hall, 1900 Hassell Road, runs on Mondays from 10 a.m. to noon between April 6 and November 16 in 2026, and the county solid waste agency runs a weekly collection at the Glenview Transfer Station on 3 Providence Way in Des Plaines on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Both drop-offs are free for residents of the agency's communities with proof of residency.Official guidance

How does an oversized pickup work in Hoffman Estates?

Call Groot at 847-734-6400 and arrange it in advance. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard. Overflow that fits within 32 gallons a bag and 50 pounds a bag or box can go out beside the toter with the regular collection at no extra charge.Official guidance

Who collects garbage in Hoffman Estates?

Groot Industries collects under a village franchise. The village states that its residential agreement with Groot for solid waste and recycling runs through April 30, 2031, and that the same franchise requires all roll-off dumpsters and all commercial hauling to go through Groot. Groot handles service questions and special pickups at 847-734-6400, while the village handles regular billing and service changes at 847-843-4824.Official guidance

Which day is my garbage picked up?

It depends on which side of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway the residence sits on. Residences north of the tollway are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Garbage, recycling and yard waste all go out on that one day, collected by different trucks, and the village publishes a service area map because routes can vary weekly.Official guidance

What time does the garbage go out?

Materials have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, because collection begins then and Groot will not return for toters and bags set out late. Nothing may go out before 6 p.m. the night before collection, and the toter has to be removed by 10 p.m. on the collection day. On non-collection days the toters must be stored behind the front building line.Official guidance

How is a large item pickup billed?

By the cubic yard. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, and the village names spring cleanup and move-in or move-out rubbish as typical loads. Appliance pickup is different and is published at no additional charge when it is scheduled in advance for the Wednesday run.Official guidance
