Arlington Heights has the slowest municipal bulk pickup of anywhere we serve. If you are waiting on the village program, you are waiting weeks. That is usually why people call us here.
Arlington Heights is one of the largest towns we cover, with dense postwar subdivisions, downtown condos near the Metra line, and a steady volume of rental turnovers and estate sales. Condo and downtown jobs come with their own constraint: elevators, loading docks, and building time windows.
Arlington Heights curbside rules
What Grootwill take, and what it won’t
The village program
Groot handles Arlington Heights collection. Unlike most towns nearby, bulk refuse here runs on a bi-weekly schedule rather than weekly, and reported wait times run two to three weeks with a fee per pickup. Electronics are separate, at up to two items a week.
Groot: (800) 244-1977
Where that leaves you
Two to three weeks is a long time to live with a broken refrigerator in your garage, and it is far too long if you are closing on a house, turning a rental, or clearing an estate on a deadline. Speed is the entire reason Arlington Heights calls us.
Rules current as of July 2026. Municipal contracts change, so confirm details with the Arlington Heights waste page before you rely on them. We keep the rules for every village we serve in one place.

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.”
