Residential Garbage, Recycling and
Yard Waste Collection
Residential waste collections are provided weekly for residents living in single family and multi-unit dwellings through a private scavenger. For complete information about residential waste collections,

Park Ridge has a city-wide
recycling program that picks up residents’ recyclables the same day as refuse collection. Visit the
Recycling Page for further information.
Due to a state mandate,
yard waste, including grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings and leaves cannot be mixed with regular household refuse. Collection for single and two-family dwellings is made once each week (beginning the first full week in April and continuing through mid-December) on the same day as refuse and recycling collection.
