Garbage & Recycling Update effective May 15, 2020
Groot has decided to lift/discontinue the temporary measure outlined in our March 22nd memo. This means that we will begin collecting bulk items, construction and demolition debris, white goods and e-waste effective May 15th for Round Lake Heights. Groot still continues to ask residents placing out bagged garbage to make sure it is sealed/tie off.
