Dump it in a grocery stores garbage dumpster behind the store.

Just so everyone knows I was being sarcastic. You dump it in the alley behind your neighbor's house

@humidify this was the second most helpful comment here. We can be quarentine friends dumping our garbage wherever we want. Just stay six feet away.  

Answer 2

You can call the city to get all of your questions answered.  

Answer 3

If you still got my # you can give me a holler. Welcome!

Yard waste goes in bags with a purchased sticker or you can rent a large compost bin from Groot. Yard waste and food scraps can go in the bin.

You can also buy a 35 gallon can, mark it yard waste and put a sticker on it each week if you don’t want to use paper bags.

@palaeozoology8450 that helps me , im a landscaper and hate taking extra stuff to the dump ($50)

@palaeozoology8450 would i have to put through the city?  

---

@prison I would call and ask. When I called I was asking about residential use. Sounds like if you are talking about yard waste in large quantities from your jobs, it’s commercial use and I wouldn’t know if that would apply.

@palaeozoology8450 ok np thx

Answer 5

You can buy brown yard waste bags at grocery stores and hardware store. Or you can purchase a generic bin for yard waste if you want to be able to reuse. You will also need to purchase yard waste stickers to put on bags or on bin. Another option is to rent a bin from groot. This has an annual fee but then you don’t have to worry about stickers.

The rules for yard waste and garbage depend on where you live in Naperville. Unincorporated Naperville is different from Incorporated Naperville.
