Updated September 30, 2026

South Beloit has 3,559 housing units and a median build year of 1991 (Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024), and the local hauler is Rock River Disposal.

South Beloit sits at the very top of Winnebago County, directly across the state line from Beloit, Wisconsin, and is the furthest-north stop in the service area. It incorporated as a city, and jobs here run the same range as Rockton and Roscoe next door: garage and basement cleanouts, move-outs, and full property clears.
A mix of older housing near the Rock River and newer subdivisions further out, with the highest share of mobile and manufactured homes in the core service area. Cleanouts here split between older-home basement volume and quicker single-unit jobs.
South Beloit's housing stock, and what it means for a cleanout
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, for South Beloit against the Winnebago County, Illinois average.
| South Beloit | Winnebago County | |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 7,946 | 283,292 |
| Housing units | 3,559 | 125,002 |
| Median year built | 1991 | 1971 |
| Owner-occupied | 69% | 65.9% |
| Renter-occupied | 31% | 34.1% |
| Single-family detached | 70.5% | 70.4% |
| Moved in since 2020 | 23.5% | 22.1% |
South Beloit's median home was built in 1991, putting most of its housing stock in the mid-century range between the older, established pattern of Rockford and the newer subdivisions further out. That mix means job size here depends more on which part of town you're in than on any single housing era.
Mobile and manufactured homes make up 7.2% of South Beloit's housing, above the 1.3% county rate. Cleanouts in these units are usually faster than a full basement job but still need careful handling getting furniture through a narrower door and hallway.
Trash, bulk pickup, and e-waste in South Beloit
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.
Unlimited curbside trash, but bulk items aren't spelled out on the hauler's own South Beloit page
Rock River Disposal gives South Beloit residents a 95-gallon cart for unlimited curbside trash (extra bags up to 32 gallons and 50 lbs are allowed alongside it), plus an 18-gallon recycling bin on the same collection day, and seasonal yard waste pickup from April through November with advance sign-up. The hauler's own South Beloit page describes the cart program but doesn't publish a separate bulk-item fee schedule the way it does for some other communities, so call 815-965-2489 before setting a couch or appliance at the curb.
Nearest free e-waste drop-off

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 South Beloit the same as everywhere else in the state, and it's why the local hauler won't collect them at the curb.
The three free countywide drop-off points: Rockford Recycle Center (4665 Hydraulic Road, Rockford, IL, Tuesdays 2-5pm, Saturdays 9am-noon); Machesney Park Recycle Center (8409 N. 2nd Street, Machesney Park, IL, Wednesdays 2-5pm, Saturdays 9am-noon); South Beloit Recycle Center (624 Eastern Avenue, South Beloit, IL, 2nd Saturday of every month, 9am-noon).
