DROP OFF CENTER

The City of Rock Island's Refuse and Yardwaster Drop-Off Center has moved to Millennium Waste at 13606 Knoxville Road, Milan.

Millennium Waste is partnering with the City of Rock Island to provide a refuse and yardwaste drop-off service to Rock Island residents at the reduced rate of $10 per vehicle (no more than the equivalent of a full-size pickup load per trip). Beginning September 5, Rock Island residents may take refuse and yardwaste to Millennium Waste on Saturdays between 7 a.m. and 12 noon. No hazardous waste, tires or white goods will be accepted.

In order to take advantage of the discount rate, the Public Works Department will provide roll-off boxes at the citizen drop-off area to be utilized by Rock Island citizens, install signs at the landfill directing Rock Island citizens to the drop-off area, and provide staff and equipment at the citizen drop-off area to assist Rock Island citizens and handle the roll-off boxes. (The normal rate at Millennium Waste for citizen drop-off is $13.50 per yard with a minimum charge of $50.)

The following rules and regulations apply to the drop-off site:

  1. Residents may bring yard waste to the site in bags or cans of their choice.

  2. Plastic bags may not be thrown into the yard waste containers. A trash container will be available for the disposal of discarded plastic bags.

  3. If residents use two-ply paper yard waste bags, the paper bags may be thrown into the yard waste containers.

  4. Yard waste mixed with regular household waste will not be taken

  5. Residents should use only twine or string to bundle brush. No wire or plastic ties.
