St. Charles offers free yard waste recycling services over next 3 weeks

St. Charles residents can get yard waste recycled for free the weeks of March 25, April 1 and April 8.

Lakeshore Recycling Systems, the city’s refuse contractor, will pick up yard waste in bags or rented toter bins on normal refuse collection days. No sticker is required.

Residents should place twigs, trimmings, leaves, etc. in either a paper yard waste bag or a toter bin rented from Lake Shore Recycling Systems and leave it on the curb for pickup.

Beginning April 15, regular yard waste collection begins and a sticker will be needed for yard waste bags.

More information is available on the city’s website, stcharlesil.gov.

Brush collection starts April 15. The brush collection schedule and collection tips can be found at stcharlesil.gov.
