Changeover from Republic to Northern Illinois Disposal
Oregon will have two pick up days. Monday North of 64 and Tuesdays South of 64. Please leave your Republic totes at the curb after the November 27th, 2024 pick up and they will collect them as soon as possible. Northern Illinois Disposal will deliver your new totes. Brown Lid = Garbage, Yellow Lid = Recycling. We will be sending out a mailer to all customers with this information soon. We will also keep our webpage updated with any additional information. “We are working with both companies to make this as smooth of a transition as we can. We appreciate your patience during the change over!” – Darin DeHaan, City Manager Garbage Contract Info
