Trash, bulk pickup, and e-waste in Harrison 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. County code puts the burden on each household
There's no village or city hall here, and no countywide contract that assigns a hauler to this address. Under Sec. 70-4 of Winnebago County's own Code of Ordinances, every unincorporated household is responsible for its own approved, covered metal or plastic container, weekly removal, and keeping a record of who does the hauling; Sec. 70-6 requires the hauling company itself to carry a county permit. Practically, that means picking a regional company, Rock River Disposal and Gill's Freeport Disposal both already serve nearby Winnebago County towns, and setting up an account the way you would after any move to an unincorporated address.

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 Harrison Township the same as everywhere else in the state, and it's why the local hauler won't collect them at the curb.
