Bourbonnais, IL – Residents in Bourbonnais and across Kankakee County can take advantage of several free spring cleaning services now available to help refresh homes and neighborhoods this season.
According to the Village of Bourbonnais, multiple programs are being offered to make disposal and recycling easier, including yard waste collection, brush pickup, bulk waste removal, and electronic recycling. Weekly yard waste service began April 1 alongside regular garbage pickup, while monthly brush collection started April 13 in designated service areas.
Officials say bulk waste removal is limited to one item per week and requires residents to call ahead to schedule pickup through Republic Services. The program is designed to handle larger household items that are not accepted during routine collection.
Additional services include free e-waste recycling for residents at the Belson Steel Center on Route 50, providing a safe way to dispose of electronics. For hazardous household items, 24/7 drop-off options are available at the Bourbonnais Police Department lobby on Main Street. This includes both prescription drug disposal and proper flag retirement.
The village emphasizes that these services are intended to keep the community clean, safe, and environmentally responsible throughout the spring season. Residents are encouraged to review all guidelines and collection schedules to ensure proper participation and avoid missed pickups.
With warmer weather arriving across the greater Kankakee area, officials say now is the ideal time for residents to clear out debris, dispose of unwanted items, and contribute to neighborhood upkeep.
