Due to winter weather, American Waste Control will adjust operations to prioritize safety.

    • Monday → Tuesday
    • Tuesday → Wednesday
    • Wednesday → Thursday

Please leave carts at the curb. Any additional bagged household trash placed beside the cart will be collected at no additional charge, as conditions allow. Some areas may be inaccessible due to weather and road conditions. If we are unable to safely access your location, service may be delayed until your next scheduled service day next week.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

  • Commercial & Roll-Off: Select routes will operate on Monday based on safety.

Thank you for your patience as our teams work safely during winter weather.

If you need first-time access to your ePortal, please email portal-access@awcok.com with your service address, account name, and contact phone number, and we will issue an invitation. If you experience any other issues, please log into your ePortal and use the “Account Request” feature. We appreciate your business.

🚨 Service Update – Saturday Clean-Up Efforts 🚨

We appreciate your patience as we continue working through this challenging week. Our crews are doing everything possible to catch up, and we want to provide an update:

    •    Residential Cleanup: We will be running additional routes on Saturday to service any missed customers. If your cart has not yet been collected, please leave it curbside, and we will do our best to service it.

    •    Commercial Cleanup: All commercial routes will also be running on Saturday as we work to get caught up.

If your residential service is still missed—whether due to road conditions or another factor—please set your cart out on your regular service day next week, including any extra bags outside the cart. We will collect everything at no additional charge.

Thank you for your patience and support. We know this has been a chaotic and difficult week, and we truly appreciate your understanding as we work to get everything back on track.

GLASS RECYCLING IS HERE

GLASS ONLY ACCEPTED AT: 1150 N. PEORIA AVE.

Q. What type of glass can I recycle?

A. Bottles and Jars generated from kitchen food pantries or the refrigerator. Bottles and jars that contained a carbonated or non-carbonated beverage, cooking oil or sauce are acceptable. NO ceramic cups, mugs, drinking glasses, light bulbs, cookware, dish-ware, picture glass, mirror glass or any other type of glass.

Q. Do I leave caps, corks or lids on glass bottles & jars?

No – please remove and discard caps & cork plugs in the trash due to their size. Place jar lids in a Steel Can and squeeze the top shut to prevent the lids from falling out. Small lids (under 3″ dia.) will not be recycled when loose due to their smaller size passing through mechanical processing equipment designed to remove small fraction items from recyclables.

A. We accept Clear, Brown, Green and Blue bottles and jars
