"In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
- From The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederation

The Campton Township Solid Waste Disposal District (CTSWDD) mission is to reduce the volume of trash which ends up in landfills, and to negotiate the most cost-effective and convenient means of solid waste disposal for the residents of Campton Township.

The Solid Waste Disposal District serves all of Campton Township. This includes all of unincorporated Elburn (but not the Incorporated Village of Elburn itself) as well as parts of unincorporated St. Charles, LaFox, and Maple Park.

Members of the Solid Waste Committee are appointed by the Town Board. Public feedback is welcome; please consult our Calendar for upcoming meeting dates and times.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

Waste Management recognizes only six holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (Fourth of July), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas . 

If your regular pick-up day falls on one of these holidays, your trash service will be delayed one day. 

If the holiday falls on a Saturday, then there is no change in service.  If the holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the Monday. If you normally have a Monday pick-up, then your trash will be collected on Tuesday.

If you have any questions, please call Waste Management at

800-796-9696.

 

 

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR RECYCLING?

Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling once the truck picks it up? Here is a link to a Waste Management website that includes a video showing the sorting process:

Go to www.thinkgreen.com  and enter "recycling facility" into the small search box at the top right. That will take you to another screen called "What Happens to My Recyclables?" Take a look at the video on Single Stream Recycling, and you’ll see what happens at a sorting facility similar to the one that processes the recycling that is collected from Campton Township.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

In Campton Township, you can recycle plastic grocery bags by stuffing them all into one bag, tying off the top, and placing the whole thing right in your recycling bin.

You can also recycle used household batteries (C, D, AA, AAA , 9V and the like) by securing them in a small ziptop bag and putting it out on your regular collection day on top of your recycling bin. Do not discard them inside the bin.

Your recycling bin needs a clearance of 3 feet all around in order for the automated truck to collect and empty it. Please be sure it's well away from your mailbox, your garbage bins, and other objects that might get in the way of the truck's collection arm.

A PLACE TO RECYCLE STYROFOAM

Finally, there’s a way to keep all that styrofoam we’ve had to put in our garbage cans out of our landfills and recycle it instead.

Now you can now take the styrofoam you have been packing up and putting in your trash to a drop-off site only a few miles away. Take your egg cartons, styrofoam cups, bulky foam packing materials, meat trays, take-out containers – anything with a #6 recycling stamp -- to Dart Container Corporation’s new site and just deposit it all in their handy bins. They ask that you bring only clean materials in clear plastic bags. Sorry, no packing peanuts accepted at this time.

This convenient drive-through is located at 310 Evergreen Drive, North Aurora, just south of the intersection of Routes 31 and 56. Just go south on Route 31 to just past I-88, then take the first right onto Sullivan Road and the 2 nd left onto Evergreen Drive. Look for signs for DART, pull into the parking lot and you’ll see the bins.
