Algonquin prices bulk items by weight bracket using stickers. Under 50 pounds is one sticker, 50 to 75 is two, and past that you are into a special collection.
Algonquin spans McHenry and Kane counties along the Fox River, with steep terrain in the older sections near the water and extensive subdivision development to the east. The river-side older homes have difficult access and full basements; the newer subdivisions are on their first round of deck and playset replacement.
Algonquin curbside rules
What Grootwill take, and what it won’t
The village program
Groot serves Algonquin, with residents choosing between a sticker program and a cart subscription. Large items that do not fit an approved container need one prepaid sticker each up to 50 pounds, and two stickers between 50 and 75 pounds. Anything the driver cannot safely lift, regardless of weight, may require a special collection quoted by Groot.
Groot: (800) 244-1977
Where that leaves you
The bracket system is clear right up to the point where weight stops being the question. Once an item cannot be safely lifted by one driver, no number of stickers covers it, and that includes most appliances, all hot tubs, and anything structural.
Rules current as of July 2026. Municipal contracts change, so confirm details with the Algonquin waste page before you rely on them. We keep the rules for every village we serve in one place.

- Depends on its weight. Under 50 pounds is one sticker, 50 to 75 is two. A full three-seat sofa is often over 75, which puts it into special collection territory.
What neighbors say
Reviews from around Lake County
“They helped me move two sofas and were incredibly professional, timely, and efficient from start to finish. I really appreciated how careful and considerate they were with the space. Matt was great to work with, very responsive and accommodating. I needed the sofas removed within 24 hours, and he made it happen seamlessly.”
“Super fast and professional. They took a rather challenging job that I have had others deny in the past. They were well equipped with tools to demo and remove an existing steel furnace drum that was original to a hundred year old house. Glad to finally have my space back in my basement. Torvik will be my go-to contractor in my personal and professional projects.”
“Prompt, speedy, affordable and a pleasure to work with. Showed up and removed our hot tub and made sure the area was all cleaned up when he was done.”
