Garbage Service

The City of Harvey has contracted Groen Waste to provide weekly trash collection for every residence in Harvey. It is from a single point in the alley or on a curb (if no alley is available).

Groen Waste is prohibited from entering private property to retrieve cans or trash. They will not be clearing vacant lots or illegally dumped trash.

For large household items, Groen will pick up one large item per week (chairs, table, bed, appliances, etc.). If you have small items to dispose of, you can place up to 10 plastic bags outside for pick-up. All bags must be closed properly and cannot to exceed forty 40 pounds.

If you do not know the trash collection day for your residence, please call the Harvey Street Department at 708-210-5304.

Garbage Containers
Containers (recycled) are $37.50 each. Residents may purchase containers at the Harvey Municipal Center (15320 Broadway). The containers will be delivered by the Street Department following confirmation of purchase.
