Trash, bulk pickup, and e-waste in Burritt Township
What your municipal hauler will and won't take, and where the rest has to go. This is what actually differs town to town for a DIY haul; a full-service cleanout skips all of it.
No township-wide hauler. Winnebago County requires individual arrangement
This township has no village or city government and no county-contracted trash hauler. Winnebago County's own Code of Ordinances (Sec. 70-4) requires every household here to dispose of garbage in an approved metal or plastic container with a fitted cover, have it removed at least once a week, and "keep a record of who is removing such garbage." Any hauling vehicle has to carry a county permit under Sec. 70-6. In practice that means calling a regional hauler (Rock River Disposal and Gill's Freeport Disposal both serve nearby Winnebago County towns) and setting up service yourself, the same as anyone moving into an unincorporated address here.

Illinois landfill ban on electronics
Since January 1, 2012, Illinois law (the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act, 415 ILCS 151) has banned putting computers, monitors, TVs, and printers in a landfill. That rule applies in Burritt Township the same as everywhere else in the state, and it's why the local hauler won't collect them at the curb.
