Solid Waste Division
The Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department manages the Villages solid waste collection and a comprehensive recycling program. Waste collection and recycling is provided through contract services for single-family units and multi-unit residents up to five unit buildings. Currently, residents dispose of nearly one million pounds of recyclables per month, or 11 million pounds per year. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this means that the Oak Park residents are helping to conserve over 40,000 trees, one million gallons of fuel and 19 million gallons of water each year. Refuse and recycling services cost each household $18.20 per month for a 96-gallon refuse cart and $15.34 per month for a 64-gallon refuse cart. Charges are included on quarterly on water bills.
