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.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the village rules and riding lawn mowers are refused, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility

Tires are on the village's do not place out list and no village or hauler tire route is published, so the route has to be confirmed.

When & how
Confirm the route by phone first, then use whichever option the village or hauler names.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Curb by 7 a.m., never before the night window

Carts and material go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before pickup from April 1 through September 30 and no earlier than 4 p.m. from October 1 through March 31, and everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day. Carts belong in the parkway or on a driveway apron, because a cart in the street or bike lane violates the village code.

Lakeshore Recycling Systems for the Village of Schaumburg, with the village running the electronics and hazardous waste referrals

Use the included bulk allowance

A Schaumburg household with up to two bulky items, such as a couch, a mattress or a couple of chairs, and up to two cubic yards of extra material.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Two cubic yards of additional waste and up to two bulk items are included with the village funded collection at no additional cost, as long as each item is under 50 pounds and under two cubic yards and the load is within Illinois landfill rules and safe for the driver to handle.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the collection day by 7 a.m. with the required preparation, and call LRS at 844-633-3577 if the load exceeds the included allowance.

Anything beyond two items or two cubic yards is billed separately by the yard or quoted as a special pickup, and electronics, televisions, tires, antifreeze, unhardened paint, batteries, pesticides, pressurized tanks, flammable waste, riding lawn mowers, gasoline and snow blowers must not be placed out at all.

See the hauler's bulk rules

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Schaumburg pays for its basic refuse and recycling program and LRS runs it: a free garbage cart and recycling cart at every home in three sizes, weekly waste and recycling, and seasonal yard waste from April 1 through the second full week of December. Nothing needs a sticker, material goes out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before from April through September and 4 p.m. from October through March, and everything is at the curb by 7 a.m. Cleaning out means working inside the included allowance: two cubic yards of extra material and up to two bulk items, each under 50 pounds and under two cubic yards, with mattresses wrapped in plastic and a queen or king set split over two weeks, carpet rolled no wider than four feet, broken glass boxed and labeled, grills emptied of fuel, and toilets separated. Anything bigger is arranged and billed through LRS at 844-633-3577, which also does a separate major appliance collection at 25.81 per appliance. Electronics are illegal in the Illinois trash and get tagged at the curb, so televisions, monitors, computers and microwaves go to a listed local recycler such as Protech Environmental in Elk Grove, where a television or monitor of any size is 20.00 and a microwave is 20.00, while household batteries, cell phones and CFL bulbs go to the village drop boxes at Temporary Village Hall, Engineering and Public Works or the Al Larson Cultural Center. Hazardous products never go in the refuse: paint, gasoline, pesticides, antifreeze and pressurized tanks go to the Naperville household hazardous waste facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive, open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends.
