The trash cans being emptied into Republic Services garbage trucks are getting heavier these days. Republic says our area's residential waste stream has increased 40% since the pandemic began.

Republic Services is asking any customers who were missed on Friday, if it was their regularly-scheduled day for waste/recycling pickup, to call and report it to its customer service line.

The phone number is 815-786-2000.

Republic didn’t operate on Wednesday and Thursday because of the snowstorm.

Services resumed Friday in Ottawa with a collection window from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., including service to the recently-acquired River City customers.

A spokesperson at Republic said “residents should expect service to continue on their regularly scheduled day” moving forward.
