Northern Illinois Disposal has announced that as recycling cans need to be replaced due to damage or as new cans are requested, the current 20 gallon sized cans will be replaced with larger 32 gallon cans.
Rochelle residents are encouraged to participate in curbside recycling. Two recycling cans are provided to each qualifying residence free of charge. Contents can be mixed in each bin. Recyclables are picked up at the curb, bi-weekly, on the same day as solid refuse pickup. All recyclables must be rinsed free from all food debris and all lids must be removed. Labels may be left on all recyclables. Anyone who does not qualify for curbside recycling is welcome to bring their recyclables to the container at the east end of the Big R (formerly Wal Mart) parking lot on Route 251 North for recycling.
