Orland Park’s Annual Curbside Spring Clean-Up Week of April 8

Spring is almost here and with it comes the Village of Orland Park’s yearly Curbside Spring Clean-Up. This year’s collection will again be offered on residents’ regular garbage pick-up days during the week of April 8-12, 2024.

Orland Park’s Curbside Spring Clean-Up is held in cooperation with the Village’s refuse hauler, Waste Management. Residents are to place all trash and bulk items curbside by 6 a.m. on their pick-up day and in an orderly fashion, i.e. bagged, contained or bundled, with no loose garbage.

“The Village is happy to again partner with Waste Management to offer the curbside spring clean-up,” said Mayor Keith Pekau. “This will be the eleventh year that we’ve offered curbside pick-up and each year we see an increase in the amount of household items getting safely and properly disposed of. We are happy to be able to provide this service to residents again this year.”

Residents can dispose of durable goods or household items like furniture, textiles, carpets, as well as white goods including washers, dryers and refrigerators. Residents should note that the doors on any white goods and appliances should be removed before being placed at the curb to prevent children from playing on or around them.

Those wishing to dispose of/recycle electronics and other materials not accepted during Curbside Spring Clean-up Week can utilize the At Your Door Program and schedule a pickup date.

Orland Park’s At Your Door Program by Waste Management provides the service to properly dispose of and recycle home generated special materials. Items can include paints, household cleaners, compact florescent lamps (CFL), automotive products, garden chemicals, batteries, electronics and more.
