Annual Amnesty Day
The contract between the Village of Willowbrook and Groot Industries calls for an annual Amnesty Day. On Amnesty Day, residents can place an unlimited volume of acceptable refuse at the curb without any garbage stickers. The Amnesty Day pick-up will occur on your regularly-scheduled garbage collection day of the week. The 2023 Amnesty Day program will be held on Monday, September 25th; Tuesday, September 26th; and Wednesday, September 27th during regularly scheduled collections.

- Landscape waste (i.e. tree branches, grass clippings, leaves, brush, etc.)

Any material that does not fit into a can or bag must be securely tied in bundles not exceeding:
