Public Works crews will collect bulk at no additional charge for Solid Waste Program customers from May 6 to May 17 for the Spring 2024 Free Bulk Pickup. Crews will follow the 2024 Leaf, Brush, Trimmings and Bulk Pickup Calendar, starting with Zone 1 Orange on May 6. Leaves, brush, and trimmings will be picked up at the same time as bulk.

Pickup dates may be adjusted, depending on the amount of material, weather, and other factors. Public Works will post daily updates and update the interactive map on the Solid Waste page at www.bloomingtonil.gov/solidwaste as crews progress. Residents can also sign up for e-mail or text updates by visiting https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/ILBLOOM/subscriber/new and subscribing toSolid Waste Updates under Public Works.
Materials must be placed in separate piles behind the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the date shown on the daily updates. Sod, dirt, concrete, rock, shingles, and appliances are not included in the Spring 2024
Free Bulk Pickup. Sod, dirt, concrete, rock, and shingles can be collected curbside, but Solid Waste Program customers must call Public Works for an estimate and to arrange for collection. Appliances are collected curbside by an outside company. For more information on these materials, visit www.bloomingtonil.gov/solidwaste and click on the “Other Waste” icon.
Solid Waste customers may take leaves, brush, trimmings, bulk, sod, dirt, concrete,
rock, shingles, and appliances to the Citizen Convenience Center located at 402 S. East
Street in Bloomington (south of the Bloomington Public Library). There is an additional
charge for sod, dirt, concrete, rock, and shingles taken to the center.
