Refuse must be properly containerized in bags or cans, and not to exceed a 50-pound weight limit. There is NO CAN LIMIT as to the quantity of refuse you may place at the curb. Flood Brothers provides a 65-gallon toter for the use of refuse collection. Any Flood Brothers' toter that is damaged will be replaced free of charge. Kindly contact the Flood Brothers' office to replace a broken or worn toter. Please note residents may choose to have a 95-gallon toter instead of the provided 65-gallon toter. This toter will be billed directly from Flood Brothers. Any 95-gallon toter customer with an unpaid account balance 30 days from the start of a billing period may have their service suspended until their account has been paid in full (including late fees). Flood Brothers will notify the village of residential service suspension.

Household hazardous waste products are flammable, toxic, corrosive or reactive and pose a harmful threat or damage to the environment when disposed of improperly.

Each East Dundee resident is entitled to one free pick-up of household hazardous waste per calendar year from Curbside Inc.
Latex (water-based) paint (unlike oil-based paint which is considered a household hazardous waste) has a very low level of toxicity. Disposing latex paint as hazardous waste is unnecessary and expensive. The Illinois EPA and Kane County encourage people with unwanted latex paint to recycle it with Earth Paint Collection Systems (www.earthpaintscs.com or 847-231-6044) . The nearest drop off location is Ziegler’s Ace Hardware (150 S. Kennedy Drive, Carpentersville, in the Meadowdale Shopping Center). The disposal cost for one gallon container is $2.50. Two-gallon containers cost $3.50 and a five-gallon container costs $8.00. (NOTE: prices subject to change without notice)
For information on document shredding, please contact the Village of East Dundee to find dates and times of free shredding events for residents.
A green, 65-gallon recycling toter with a yellow lid will be provided to each residence at no extra charge.

The collector is trained to check the contents of the cart. If there are non-recyclable contents present, the cart will be left with a violation tag. Recyclable materials do not need to be separated, but please rinse all recyclable items to remove food residue prior to pickup. A complete list of acceptable and unacceptable materials can be found here.
