A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and extra household waste

Accepted with preparation

Bulky items under 50 pounds are collected on the regular refuse day at no additional charge, and the Village guide names mattresses, box springs, small tables, chairs and other small furniture as examples. Anything heavier, or anything beyond what the cart holds, has to be arranged with the hauler, and tires and Christmas trees follow their own yearly and priced routes.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Part of the quarterly refuse service the Village bills every household, which covers bulky items under 50 pounds on the normal collection day; pieces over 50 pounds, extra cart rentals and tires are billed separately by Flood Brothers Disposal.
When & how
Set bulky items out by 6 a.m. on your weekly collection day, call Flood Brothers at least 24 hours ahead for anything over 50 pounds, and put Christmas trees out during the first three weeks of January, when they are collected at no additional charge.
Get it ready
Keep extra refuse bagged or contained in a can no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds, because overloaded containers are not collected, and never bundle tires or household chemicals into the bulky pile.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out after 5 p.m. the night before, in before 6 a.m.

Refuse, recycling and yard waste are collected on the same day, once a week, Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., and the Village guide asks for material at the curb after 5 p.m. the day before but before 6 a.m. on the collection day. Your collection time may differ from the previous hauler's, so the curb window matters. Six holidays delay the rest of that week by one day: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Extra refuse has to fit the container rules

Anything that does not fit the refuse cart has to be bagged or placed in a container no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds, and containers must be watertight, non-corrodible, and fitted with handles and a lid. Overloaded bags are not collected, and recycling belongs in the green cart only, because material left in other containers is treated as refuse. A household that regularly runs over can rent an additional cart from Flood Brothers, and yard waste runs the first full week of April through the end of the second week in December with a three cart limit.

Appliances, electronics, tires and chemicals are all booked ahead

None of the priced or restricted items ride the normal refuse day. Appliances, electronics and televisions, tires and household hazardous waste are all scheduled with Flood Brothers at least 24 hours in advance, and each one is billed by the hauler rather than through the quarterly Village bill. Bulk items heavier than 50 pounds join that list, so plan the call to the hauler before the evening the material is supposed to leave the curb.

Village of Oak Lawn with Flood Brothers Disposal

Contract a Flood Brothers special collection

A household with a piece of furniture or a machine over 50 pounds, a mattress set heavier than the bulk line, or a large volume of material that the weekly truck will not take.

Cost & conditions
The Village guide says residents can contract individually with Flood Brothers for extra large items and large volumes such as construction or move out debris, and that the hauler sets prices and availability. Nothing is published, so the quote is the number that matters.
Arrange it
Call Flood Brothers at least 24 hours ahead, describe the item or the volume, and ask whether it goes on the refuse day or a separately scheduled day.

This is a private contract with the hauler rather than part of the quarterly Village refuse service, and it does not cover debris a contractor generates on a job, which stays the contractor's responsibility.

Village of Oak Lawn with Flood Brothers Disposal

Rent an extra refuse or recycling cart

A household that routinely fills one cart and is still leaving bagged refuse at the curb every week.

Cost & conditions
$35 per additional refuse or recycling cart, per year, billed directly by Flood Brothers Disposal. Available to Village residential customers who want more than the one refuse cart and one recycling cart the household receives, requested through the hauler.
Arrange it
Ask Flood Brothers for an additional 96 gallon refuse or recycling cart; the Village administers the quarterly hauling bill while extra carts are billed by the hauler.

A second cart adds weekly capacity but does not change the item rules, so appliances, electronics, tires and household chemicals still need their own scheduled pickups.

Open the Oak Lawn refuse and recycling page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

The Village of Oak Lawn publishes no drop off site for household bulky items, appliances, electronics or chemicals, and no Village recycling event is posted on its refuse, Public Works or composting pages. Every route the Village documents is curbside: the weekly collection on your refuse day, the appointment routes for white goods, electronics, tires and household chemicals, the forestry division for parkway storm damage and whole tree debris from your own tree removal, and the yard waste season that runs from the first full week of April to the end of the second week in December. A household that wants to avoid waiting for a scheduled pickup has to arrange something private instead, either the special collection that Flood Brothers contracts individually or a contractor for construction material. If you are clearing out a property, plan the order: bulky items under 50 pounds and mattresses can wait for the next refuse day, while appliances, televisions, tires and any chemicals need the hauler called a day ahead.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Oak Lawn.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Oak Lawn?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

What counts as a bulky item in Oak Lawn?

The Village guide treats items under 50 pounds as bulky items that go out on the regular collection day at no additional charge, naming mattresses, box springs, small tables, chairs and other small furniture. Anything heavier is arranged with Flood Brothers and may carry a charge.Official guidance

Who picks up trash in Oak Lawn?

Flood Brothers Disposal hauls residential refuse, recycling and yard waste for the whole village under the contract that started October 1, 2025, replacing Republic Services. The Village bills the quarterly hauling service and Flood Brothers bills additional carts, appliances, electronics, tires and special collections directly, with questions handled on the hauler's Oak Lawn line.Official guidance

What happens to a bulky item that weighs more than 50 pounds?

It leaves the no additional charge bulk route. The Village guide collects bulky items under 50 pounds on the regular refuse day, and for anything heavier it has the household contact Flood Brothers to arrange the collection, with charges that may apply and no published rate.Official guidance

Does a holiday change my Oak Lawn pickup day?

Yes. If New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas falls on a weekday or a Sunday, the rest of that week's collection shifts one day later, and Friday customers are served on Saturday instead.Official guidance
