City collection One piece of furniture comes off the property on the regular service day as part of the weekly bulk allowance, on the condition that each piece is light enough for one person to handle or is broken down into 50 pound pieces. The operator asks for a phone call before a large sofa so it can send a separate truck. Furniture is inside the one large item a week that comes with the monthly service rather than a separately priced product, and the published monthly rates are 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 whether a particular piece is a standard bulk item or an oversized one, which the contract prices at 45 dollars each.
City collection A mattress and box spring can go out together and are taken as a set on the regular collection day, which makes bedding part of the one large item a week allowance. A unit with bed bugs has to be wrapped or sealed in plastic before it is set out. A mattress and box spring set is inside the one large item a week that comes with the monthly service, so there is no separate mattress price, and the published monthly rates are 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 if the set is unusually heavy or if a frame goes out with it.
City collection One large appliance a week is included with the residential service and is collected by a separate truck with a lift gate, so an appliance needs a call ahead and goes next to the cart rather than through the usual driver. State law requires the doors to be removed from a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove before set-out, and a water heater has to be drained first. Appliance collection is inside the monthly residential service rather than a separately priced product, published as 31.16 dollars a month for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. The operator notes that some rural communities may carry a charge, so confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 for a Tinley Park address before an appliance goes out.
City collection One large item a week is part of the village collection service, so a sofa, mattress, cabinet, chair or bike goes out with the regular pickup rather than needing its own booking. The contract then prices the genuine exception: an item that takes two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa, is collected as an oversized bulk item. A standard large item carries no separate per item price because it is part of the monthly refuse service the household already pays for, published as 31.16 dollars a month for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over, and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. The priced route is different: the village contract sets oversized bulk item collection at 45 dollars per item. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 which category the item falls into.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Tinley Park signed a new collection contract with Homewood Disposal Services effective January 20, 2026, and the village publishes the terms plainly. Every home gets a brown 95 gallon garbage cart and a green 95 gallon recycling cart, additional carts are rented, and village ordinance requires carts at the end of the driveway rather than in the street. One large item a week comes with the service, which covers a sofa, a mattress or a cabinet, and the operator's own guide adds a mattress and box spring taken together as a set, furniture broken down to 50 pound pieces, one appliance a week collected by a separate lift gate truck, and two 50 pound cans of construction debris. The contract then prices the exception: an oversized bulk item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa, costs 45 dollars each. Electronics cannot go to landfill under Illinois law, so the village includes a scheduled curbside electronic pickup and caps a single family home at two televisions or monitors a year.

City cost & eligibility
A standard large item carries no separate per item price because it is part of the monthly refuse service the household already pays for, published as 31.16 dollars a month for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over, and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. The priced route is different: the village contract sets oversized bulk item collection at 45 dollars per item. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 which category the item falls into.
When & how
Put the item at the curb on the regular collection day, or call ahead for an appliance or for anything too large for one person to lift so the operator can send the right truck.
Get it ready
Keep the item out of the carts and off the street, break a heavy piece down into 50 pound pieces if it can be, and give the operator advance notice for a large sofa so a separate truck can be scheduled.

When & how
Set one piece out on the regular collection day, and call ahead when the piece is a large sofa so the operator can plan a separate truck.
Get it ready
Break the piece down into sections of no more than 50 pounds if one person cannot lift it whole, keep it out of the carts, and keep it at the end of the driveway rather than in the street.
A mattress and box spring can go out together and are taken as a set on the regular collection day, which makes bedding part of the one large item a week allowance. A unit with bed bugs has to be wrapped or sealed in plastic before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress and box spring set is inside the one large item a week that comes with the monthly service, so there is no separate mattress price, and the published monthly rates are 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 if the set is unusually heavy or if a frame goes out with it.
When & how
Leave the mattress and box spring out together on the regular collection day. There is no mattress appointment to book.
Get it ready
Wrap or seal the unit in plastic if it has bed bugs, keep it dry and out of the carts, and keep it at the end of the driveway where the truck can reach it.
One large appliance a week is included with the residential service and is collected by a separate truck with a lift gate, so an appliance needs a call ahead and goes next to the cart rather than through the usual driver. State law requires the doors to be removed from a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove before set-out, and a water heater has to be drained first.
City cost & eligibility
Appliance collection is inside the monthly residential service rather than a separately priced product, published as 31.16 dollars a month for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. The operator notes that some rural communities may carry a charge, so confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 for a Tinley Park address before an appliance goes out.
When & how
Contact the operator in advance, then put the appliance next to the cart on the normal collection day, where it is collected later the same day by the lift gate truck.
Get it ready
Take the doors off a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove and set them beside the unit, drain a water heater before it goes out, and remember that a microwave is not covered by the state e-waste ban and can go in the regular garbage.
Illinois has banned covered electronics from landfill since 2012, and Tinley Park answers that with a scheduled curbside electronic pickup that is included with the service. A single family home is limited to two televisions or monitors a year, and the operator lists the covered devices it takes.
City cost & eligibility
The village describes electronic collection as one of the benefits included in the January 2026 contract, and the operator describes the same pickup as part of the residential service, but neither publishes a separate electronic pickup price. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 when the pickup is requested, and note that once the television and monitor allowance for the year is used the remaining route is a hard to recycle drop-off.
When & how
Request the pickup first, then set the electronics at the curb next to the garbage cart by 7 a.m. so the separate electronics truck can collect them the same day.
Get it ready
Keep the screens and tubes intact because a broken unit is not collected, erase or destroy personal data before the device leaves the house, and keep batteries out of the electronics pile because batteries have their own disposal rules.
The weekly bulk program takes two cans of construction debris as long as each can weighs no more than 50 pounds, which covers wood, fencing and shingles on a small job. Anything larger is routed to a transfer station charged by the ton or to a rented dumpster.
City cost & eligibility
The two can allowance carries no separate charge because it sits inside the weekly bulk pickup that comes with the monthly service, while transfer station loads are charged by the ton and dumpster rental is priced separately. Neither rate is published, so confirm the current charges with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 before a larger load leaves the property.
When & how
Up to two cans of material go out on the regular collection day. For a larger project, arrange the transfer station drop-off or the dumpster ahead of the work rather than piling material at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep each can at or under 50 pounds, separate construction material from household garbage and yard waste, and do not put the load into the recycling cart.
Exercise equipment is not named in the village contract or in the operator's bulk list, so a machine has to be tested against the handling rule that applies to every bulk item: one person must be able to lift it, or it has to come apart into 50 pound pieces.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and no retained page names the category. The practical test is the operator's bulk rule, which asks that each piece be light enough for one person to handle or be broken into 50 pound pieces, and the village prices an oversized item at 45 dollars when it needs two collectors or a special truck. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 before setting a machine out.
When & how
Ask the operator first, then use the regular collection day if the machine qualifies as a standard bulk item or the oversized route if it needs equipment to lift.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep each piece at or under 50 pounds, keep the loose parts with it, and leave it on the property while the answer is pending.
Neither the village page nor the operator's Tinley Park pages publishes a curbside tire route, so the reliable path is the state one: an Illinois tire retailer has to accept used tires for recycling in a quantity equal to the number of new tires the customer buys.
City cost & eligibility
Illinois retailers collect a 2.50 dollar per tire user fee from retail customers as a separate line on new tire invoices, and the state notes that this fee does not cover disposal, so a retailer may assess its own separate disposal charge for each used tire it accepts. Confirm the drop-off rate with the store, or confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 whether a tire can be put out at all.
When & how
Return the tires when the new set is fitted, and ask the operator in advance if a tire has to go out with the household collection.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the garbage and recycling carts, take them back to the shop that sold the new set, and remember that transporting more than 20 used tires in Illinois requires the vehicle to be registered with the state.
Paint splits by type: latex paint is treated as non-hazardous and can go out with the garbage once it is solidified, while oil based paint is hazardous and cannot sit at the curb. Chemicals, propane, gasoline, antifreeze and car batteries go to a household hazardous waste collection, and batteries and bulbs go to retailer drop-offs.
City cost & eligibility
The routes do not share one price. The Illinois EPA states that its household hazardous waste collections are free to the public, PaintCare states there is no charge at its paint drop-off sites, and the village's operator gives the latex paint solidification route at no extra cost, while Will County publishes a 15 gallon paint limit for its one-day events. Confirm the next event date and any local rule before loading a vehicle.
When & how
Latex paint goes out with the regular garbage once it is solid. Oil based paint and household chemicals wait for a published one-day collection or go to a permanent site, with the Naperville regional site open Saturdays and Sundays and the Chicago Goose Island site open Tuesdays, Thursdays and the first Saturday of the month.
Get it ready
Dry latex paint with the lid off and a little kitty litter, sand or shredded paper and set the solid cans beside the trash. Keep oil based paint, solvents, gasoline, antifreeze and propane out of every cart, keep alkaline batteries out of the recycling cart, and keep lithium, rechargeable and button batteries out of both.
The 2026 contract sets the carts, the rates and the rules
Tinley Park's contract with Homewood Disposal Services took effect January 20, 2026, and the village publishes what it bought: a brown 95 gallon garbage cart and a green 95 gallon recycling cart at every home, additional carts for rent at 3 dollars a month for recycling, and benefits that include electronic collection, Christmas tree collection, senior and veteran discounts and an opt-in for townhome and condominium associations. As of October 1, 2026 the monthly rate is 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over, and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans, with the discounts available only to households in the village program paying contractual rates. Village ordinance requires carts at the end of the driveway and not in the street, and payments go to Homewood Disposal rather than Village Hall.
One large item a week is included, and an oversized one is priced
The weekly bulk allowance is the backbone of the program. The operator states that the removal of one bulk item each week is included with the residential service and names a sofa, mattress or cabinet, with a mattress and box spring taken together as a set and a bed bug unit required to be wrapped. Appliances are also included at one a week, but collected later the same day by a separate truck with a lift gate, so they need a call ahead, and state law requires the doors removed from a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove and a water heater drained. Furniture has to be light enough for one person or broken into 50 pound pieces, up to two 50 pound cans of construction debris go out weekly, and carpet is rolled into bundles one person can lift. Above that allowance the contract prices the exception: an oversized bulk item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa, costs 45 dollars per item.
Electronics, paint and chemicals have their own routes
Illinois banned covered electronics from landfill in 2012, so the village includes a scheduled curbside electronic pickup that has to be requested before collection and limits a single family home to two televisions or monitors a year, with screens and tubes required to be intact and data erased by the household. Paint splits by type: latex paint is non-hazardous, so it can be dried solid and put out beside the trash, while oil based paint cannot sit at the curb because it is hazardous. Household chemicals, gasoline, antifreeze, propane, car batteries, lithium and rechargeable batteries and compact fluorescent bulbs all have to leave the carts, and the routes are the Naperville regional site at 156 Fort Hill Drive on weekends, the Chicago Goose Island site on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the first Saturday of the month, the Illinois EPA one-day collections that need pre-registration, year-round PaintCare paint drop-offs that take no aerosols, and the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials at South Suburban College in South Holland for Cook County residents.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Put one large item out with the weekly collection
Any Tinley Park household on the village contract with a sofa, mattress, cabinet, chair, bike or similar household item to clear.
Cost & conditions
The item is inside the one a week bulk allowance that comes with the monthly residential service, so it carries no separate price. The published monthly rates are 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 whether the piece counts as a standard bulk item or as one of the village's 45 dollar oversized items.
Arrange it
Set the item at the end of the driveway, not in the street, on the regular collection day, and call ahead for a large sofa or anything too heavy for one person.
One item a week, and anything needing two collectors or a special truck moves into the priced oversized category. Electronics, paint, chemicals, batteries and tires are outside this route entirely.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Book the oversized bulk item collection
A household with an item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa.
Cost & conditions
$45 per oversized bulk item. The village states that the Homewood Disposal contract offers oversized bulk item collection for 45 dollars per item for items such as pianos, hot tubs and spas that require two or more collectors or a special truck because they will not fit in the garbage truck. Confirm the classification with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 when the item is booked.
Arrange it
Call Homewood Disposal to book the oversized collection and follow its instructions for where the item should be placed.
This is for the item that does not fit the ordinary garbage truck. A piece that breaks down to 50 pound parts stays in the weekly allowance instead.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Schedule the weekly appliance pickup
A household replacing a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, stove, water heater or similar large appliance.
Cost & conditions
Appliance pickup is included with the weekly residential service, counted as the one large appliance or bulk item for that week, so there is no separate published appliance price for a Tinley Park address. The operator notes that residents in some rural communities may be charged, and the monthly village rate is 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004.
Arrange it
Contact the operator in advance, then place the appliance next to the cart on the normal collection day for the separate lift gate truck.
One large appliance or bulk item per week, doors removed before set-out as state law requires, and a water heater drained first.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Schedule the curbside electronic pickup
A household with a television, monitor, computer, printer, console or other covered electronic device.
Cost & conditions
The village lists electronic collection among the benefits of the January 2026 contract and the operator presents the same pickup as part of the residential service, but neither publishes a separate electronic pickup price. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 when the pickup is requested, and remember that a single family home is limited to two televisions or monitors a year.
Arrange it
Request the pickup online or by phone, then set the electronics next to the garbage cart by 7 a.m. for the separate electronics truck on the regular collection day.
Screens and tubes have to be intact, personal data is the household's responsibility, and the television and monitor allowance is capped each year.
A household with leftover house paint, primer, stain, sealer, shellac or varnish that would rather not wait for a collection event.
Cost & conditions
No charge. PaintCare states there is no charge for dropping off paint at a drop-off site. The program is funded instead by a fee added to the purchase price of new paint, published in Illinois as nothing for a half pint or smaller, 45 cents for more than a half pint and under a gallon, 95 cents for one to two gallons, and 1.95 for over two gallons up to five gallons. Confirm the site hours and limits before going.
Arrange it
Use the PaintCare site locator to find the nearest year-round drop-off, then call that site to confirm its hours and what it will take.
Sites take architectural coatings rather than aerosols, so spray paint does not belong at a PaintCare drop-off.
A household with oil based paint, solvents, gasoline, antifreeze, propane, pool chemicals or other material the carts will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The Illinois EPA states that the household hazardous waste collections it funds are free to the public, and Will County runs one-day collections and helps fund the year-round Naperville regional site. Confirm the next event date and any local limits before loading, and note that Will County accepts latex and oil based paint at its one-day events with a 15 gallon limit.
Arrange it
Either drive to the Naperville regional site at 156 Fort Hill Drive on a Saturday or Sunday, use the Chicago Goose Island site on a Tuesday, Thursday or the first Saturday of the month, or pre-register for an Illinois EPA one-day collection.
Permanent site hours are fixed and limited, one-day collections need pre-registration that assigns a time slot, and business waste is not accepted.
A Cook County household with furniture, small appliances, electronics, textiles or other hard to recycle material in one trip.
Cost & conditions
The village publishes the drop-off hours and the accepted material list but not a price, so confirm with the center on (708) 596-2000 extension 2442 whether any material carries a fee before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the material to South Suburban College at 15800 S. State St., South Holland, during the published windows, and check the center's own page for current details.
The village lists the service for Cook County residents, and the published windows are narrow: Tuesday mornings, Thursday afternoons and the second and fourth Saturday of each month.

15800 S. State St., South Holland, IL 60473
Clothing, computers, electronic waste, furniture, glass, metal, paper, plastic, small appliances, Styrofoam and textiles
The village lists this as a Cook County resident service. Only the published material list applies, and the village page notes the drop-off windows rather than a standing retail counter, so confirm the current rules on (708) 596-2000 extension 2442 before a trip.
8 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, 1 to 5 p.m. Thursdays, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturday of every month

Latex paint, smoke detectors, ammunition, old gasoline, business waste, medical waste and household garbage are not accepted. The Illinois EPA funds disposal costs for the permanent sites, and Will County helps fund this one, while the retained pages do not price a residential visit.
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays
The Illinois EPA states that the household hazardous waste collections it funds are free to the public, but the retained pages do not price a visit to the permanent Naperville site, so confirm the current acceptance and any fee before loading a vehicle.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
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.
How many large items can I put out each week?+
One. The operator states that the removal of one bulk item each week is included with the residential service, naming a sofa, mattress or cabinet, and the items go to the curb on the regular collection day for the driver or a separate bulk truck. An item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa, is handled as an oversized bulk item and the village contract prices that at 45 dollars each.Official guidance
Will Tinley Park take a couch?+
Yes, one piece of furniture on the regular service day. The operator states that it will pick up one piece of furniture on the regular service day, that each piece must be light enough for one person to handle or be broken into 50 pound pieces, and that it appreciates a phone call in advance for a large sofa because a separate truck may be sent. An item that needs two collectors or a special truck falls into the village's 45 dollar oversized category.Official guidance
How do I dispose of a mattress in Tinley Park?+
Put it out with the regular collection. The operator states that it will gladly remove a mattress and box spring set, that both can be left out together on the regular day and are picked up as a set, and that a mattress or box spring with bed bugs should be wrapped or sealed in plastic before pickup. The set counts as the one large item included each week.Official guidance
How do I get rid of an old refrigerator?+
Call Homewood Disposal first, then put it next to the cart on the normal collection day, because appliance pickup is included with the weekly service but is completed later in the day by a separate truck with a lift gate. State law requires the doors to be removed from a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer or stove before it is set outside, and a water heater must be drained first.Official guidance
How many televisions can I put out in a year?+
Two, for a single family home. The village states that residents can receive electronic collection as needed but that it must be scheduled with Homewood Disposal before collection, and that residents are limited to two televisions or monitors per single family home per year. The operator describes the limit as a quantity restriction on televisions and monitors within a rolling twelve months and points residents back to the village page for the figure.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Tinley Park?+
Homewood Disposal Service, under a village contract that took effect January 20, 2026. Every home gets a brown 95 gallon garbage cart and a green 95 gallon recycling cart, additional carts rent for 3 dollars a month, and village ordinance requires carts at the end of the driveway rather than in the street. Payments go to Homewood Disposal instead of Village Hall.Official guidance
What does the service cost?+
As of October 1, 2026 the village publishes 31.16 dollars a month for residents, 29.66 a month for residents aged 65 and over, and nothing a month for certified 100 percent disabled veterans. The discounts require the household to be in the village collection program and paying contractual rates, and applicants file a proof of discount form with identification and a property bill. The same contract prices an oversized bulk item, meaning one that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, at 45 dollars per item.Official guidance
What counts as an oversized bulk item?+
An item that needs two or more collectors to lift or a special truck because it will not fit in the garbage truck, with the village naming pianos, hot tubs and spas as examples. Those are priced at 45 dollars per item under the contract. Standard bulk items such as chairs, bikes, tables and mattresses stay in the one large item a week that comes with the service.Official guidance
How does electronic waste leave the house?+
Through a scheduled curbside pickup, because Illinois banned covered electronics from landfill in 2012 and the village includes electronic collection in the current contract. Request the pickup from Homewood Disposal, then set the devices next to the garbage cart by 7 a.m. so the separate electronics truck takes them the same day. Screens and tubes must be intact, personal data is the household's responsibility, and a single family home is limited to two televisions or monitors a year.Official guidance
Does yard waste need a sticker in Tinley Park?+
No. The operator states that yard waste stickers are not required in Tinley Park and that the season runs from April 1 to November 30. Grass clippings, leaves and branches go in brown paper yard waste bags with no dirt or rock, branches are cut to 3 or 4 foot lengths and no wider than 3 inches, and bundles are tied with twine or string. Illinois law forbids mixing yard waste with garbage.Official guidance
Where can I take hard to recycle items?+
Cook County residents can use the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials at South Suburban College, 15800 S. State St., South Holland, which the village lists for clothing, computers, electronic waste, furniture, glass, metal, paper, plastic, small appliances, Styrofoam and textiles.
