Local Tips & Community Info
Flood Brothers Disposal: Roselle's Waste Partner
The Village of Roselle maintains an exclusive partnership with Flood Brothers Disposal to oversee all residential garbage, recycling, and seasonal yard waste collection. Under a long-term service agreement active through 2032, homeowners receive highly reliable weekly curbside pickups. To ensure seamless and efficient service on your designated collection morning, residents must follow local guidelines carefully, keeping containers clear of roadway obstructions and strictly adhering to the village's accepted materials lists.
Understanding Cart Sizes and Weekly Rules
Every single-family household within the municipal limits is equipped with standardized refuse and recycling carts at no extra base cost. Recognizing that waste output varies by family size, the village offers the flexibility to choose between 95-gallon, 65-gallon, or 35-gallon cart capacities. If your current bin size isn't meeting your household needs, you can easily request a swap by calling Flood Brothers directly at (630) 261-0400. When placing carts curbside, ensure they are spaced adequately apart from mailboxes, parked vehicles, and trees. Furthermore, all recyclables must be placed loosely in the designated cart—never bundled or bagged in plastic.
Handling Heavy Bulk Items and Electronics
Have you recently purchased new furniture or cleaned out the basement? Flood Brothers permits the disposal of one bulk item per week at no additional charge, provided it weighs under 50 pounds and can be safely maneuvered by a single driver. For heavier objects, or large household appliances (often referred to as white goods), you must call 24 hours ahead to schedule a special pickup. Furthermore, curbside electronic waste collection is available for a $25 fee, which covers up to six items with a strict limit of two televisions per pickup.
The Seasonal Yard Waste Sticker System
From the first week of April through the final week of November, Roselle homeowners can take advantage of robust yard waste collection. You can either utilize a dedicated 95-gallon yard waste cart for a flat annual subscription fee or opt for the pay-per-bag sticker method. Yard waste stickers are conveniently sold at Village Hall and several local grocery hardware stores. As an added community benefit, the village generously sponsors a free yard waste pickup period during the very first full week of April and the final week of November, allowing up to seven un-stickered bundles or bags.
Household Battery Recycling Initiative
To prevent environmental contamination, Roselle strictly prohibits tossing loose batteries of any type into curbside trash or recycling bins. Instead, the village offers a convenient environmental program. All standard household batteries, including everyday alkalines, can be safely dropped off for free at the Village Hall Community Development front counter during normal weekday business hours.
