Garbage Pickup Rates To Decrease In Algonquin

Algonquin residents will have a price reduction in garbage collection services starting Sept. 1. The village entered into a new contract with its current waste hauler, Groot. Sticker customers will see rates drop from $3.50 a sticker to $3 a sticker, for a 14% decrease. Garbage cart customers’ rates will decrease 25%, from $24 a month to $18 a month. Curbside recycling service will continue, and so will the document shredding event and spring cleanup. Minor changes are coming to the curbside electronics recycling program.
