Roscoe Service Area
Updated October 1, 2026
This page covers the Roscoe neighborhoods and subdivisions we take jobs in. For pricing and the full service menu, see junk removal in Roscoe, IL. Roscoe has 4,312 housing units and a median build year of 2001 (Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024), and the local hauler is Waste Management (WM).
Roscoe sits north of Machesney Park along the Rock River and runs to newer subdivisions and larger single-family homes rather than apartment blocks. The jobs here are typically whole garages, full basements, or complete property clearouts rather than a single item off a curb.
Predominantly owner-occupied single-family housing on larger lots, much of it built from the 1990s onward, with attached two- and three-car garages. Bigger houses mean more storage space to fill, and more of the load coming up from a basement or down from an attic.
Roscoe's housing stock, and what it means for a cleanout
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, for Roscoe against the Winnebago County, Illinois average.
| Roscoe | Winnebago County | |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 10,706 | 283,292 |
| Housing units | 4,312 | 125,002 |
| Median year built | 2001 | 1971 |
| Owner-occupied | 71.2% | 65.9% |
| Renter-occupied | 28.8% | 34.1% |
| Single-family detached | 66.9% | 70.4% |
| Built before 1960 | 3.2% | 35.5% |
| Moved in since 2020 | 22.2% | 22.1% |
52.6% of Roscoe's housing was built in 2000 or later, one of the higher shares in the service area. Newer construction here tends to mean attached two- and three-car garages on bigger lots, so the volume comes from garage and lawn-equipment accumulation more than a cramped basement.
Trash, bulk pickup, and e-waste in Roscoe
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.
Bulk pickup is priced per piece, and it will not take appliances
Roscoe's weekly bulk pickup through Waste Management covers furniture like couches, tables, and chairs, but each piece counts separately (a table with four chairs is 5 bulk items, not 1). White goods (washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters), hazardous materials, and construction debris are excluded from the program entirely and have to be verified with WM at 815-874-8431 before they go to the curb.
Nearest free e-waste drop-off
The closest of the three countywide Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful centers is the Machesney Park Recycle Center at 8409 N. 2nd Street, open Wednesdays 2-5pm and Saturdays 9am-noon. Disposal is free except televisions and monitors, which run $20-$30 depending on size.

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