Groot large item collection for Plano (one free a week; five $1 stickers for each extra)
All homes in the City of Plano: "Effective April 26, 2021, Groot was awarded the contract to be the sole waste and recycling service provider for all of the homes in the City of Plano, Illinois." Garbage is billed by the City at $50.50 for two months, or $44.68 for residents aged 62 or older, effective January 1, 2026. Each resident receives one 65-gallon garbage cart and one 65-gallon recycling cart.
Conditions and source
"Groot will take 1 large item or 1 bundle of construction material (not to exceed 4 feet in length, 2 feet in diameter or 50 pounds) or 1 additional bag or can (up to 32 gallons) of waste each week" - one of the three, not all three. Beyond that: "Additional refuse cans or bags outside of the cart must have 1 sticker. Additional bulk items above and beyond the 1 item will require 5 stickers", and "Stickers will be $1 each", so a second large item costs $5.00. Stickers are sold at City Hall, 17 E. Main Street; the Groot yard at 710 E. South Street; the Circle K/Shell at 1001 W. Route 34; and the BP/Citgo at 101 Waubonsee Drive. Twice a year the limit lifts entirely: "There is a spring and fall cleanup for unlimited waste, large items, recycling, white goods, electronics and up to 4 tires (no rims)", and the City dates the autumn 2026 run as the week of October 12-15, 2026 on the regular garbage day. Containers go out "before 6:00 a.m. on their pick-up day or the night before". White goods and electronics are recycled by Groot, must be placed curbside away from the normal waste and recycling, and are booked by calling Groot at 630-552-9640. No wrapping rule is published for a mattress.
- $0 — "Groot will take 1 large item or 1 bundle of construction material... or 1 additional bag or can (up to 32 gallons) of waste each week" at no stated charge, as part of the service billed at $50.50 per two months. The City does not name a mattress as a large item.
- $5 — "Additional bulk items above and beyond the 1 item will require 5 stickers" and "Stickers will be $1 each" - $5.00 for each large item after the first in a week. The City does not say whether a mattress and box spring set counts as one item or two.
Not confirmed: The City writes "1 large item" and "bulk items" throughout and never names a mattress or box spring, so it is not stated in terms that a mattress is the free weekly large item.
Not confirmed: Nothing says whether a mattress and box spring set is one large item or two, which decides whether the $5.00 sticker charge applies to the second piece.
Not confirmed: No outcome is published for a collected large item.

What Kendall County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Plano and its neighbors.
- Kendall County operates no waste facility, no drop-off site and no collection of any kind, and its own recycling page says so by telling every resident to go somewhere else. The Health Department's Environmental Health Services runs the county's solid waste function, and its entire Waste Management section is two pages — Medicine Disposal and Recycling & Yard Waste. The Recycling & Yard Waste page divides residents in two: "If you live in an incorporated area, check your municipality's website for the most current waste and recycling guidelines. In unincorporated areas, residents choose their own hauler and should review the services each company provides." On curbside it says only "All residential waste haulers include standard recycling at no extra cost", and on yard waste "Yard waste within city limits can be picked up by your village's waste hauler. Please contact the hauler for details and schedules for pickup." The one physical site it names is out of county: "These waste items can be recycled at the household hazardous waste drop-off site in Naperville, located at: 156 Fort Hill Drive, Naperville, IL 60540, 630-420-6095" — an HHW facility that takes no furniture or bedding. For electronics the county again routes outward, to municipal hauler services in Plano, Oswego and Yorkville and to a paid private collector: "A-Team Recyclers is a 'curbside' pickup program option available to all Kendall County residents. For a fee, they can come to your property and pick up E-waste." There is no county bulky-item program, no clean-up or amnesty day, no county voucher and no county convenience center. Source
- Kendall County publishes no mattress guidance whatsoever, which in a county that publishes plenty about paint, e-waste and yard waste is itself the finding. The Health Department's recycling page covers source reduction, curbside contamination, electronics law, household hazardous waste and leftover latex paint in detail, and names not one route for a mattress, a box spring or bulky furniture; the county's answer to "what do I do with a mattress" is the page's general instruction to check your municipality if you are incorporated or your own hauler if you are not. Unlike neighboring Kane and DeKalb, Kendall runs no recycling center, no rural drop-off site and no collection event of its own to test against a mattress, so there is nothing here to refuse it and nothing to accept it. The county does maintain a Solid Waste Plan and a Solid Waste Committee, but the plan is a planning instrument — "a strategic blueprint that Kendall County uses to manage how trash and recyclable materials are handled over many years" — and confers no resident-facing service. Source Not confirmed: No landfill or transfer station is named to residents anywhere on Kendall County's own pages, and no operator of a facility inside the county publishes household self-haul terms or a mattress fee; a per-mattress gate price for Kendall County could not be established from any primary source.
Illinois mattress disposal rules
- Residential body says Saturday 8–2; same-page footer says 9–1. Both show weekdays 8–4. No Saturday schedule selected. Source
- Locator retains Landfill 33 Saturday 7 a.m.–11 p.m. exactly as printed; implausible closing time requires confirmation. Two Columbus District Office cards are distinct OH and IN addresses, not duplicates. Source
- Illinois EPA recycling page offers a 'Beyond The Bin' ArcGIS map of recycling locations, an Earth911 ZIP locator and the Recycle Coach app (statewide partnership since 2025). No mattress stewardship program mentioned. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Illinois EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
- There is no state mattress recycling program in Illinois, and the absence is worth stating plainly because the four states that have one give residents free drop-off. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, lists its programs on its own Programs page as operating in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island. Illinois is not among them. Three things follow for an Illinois resident: no recycling fee is charged on an Illinois mattress sale, there is no MRC-funded free drop-off anywhere in the state, and nothing obliges a retailer, hauler or municipality to recycle a mattress rather than landfill it. Recycling in Illinois is therefore a private arrangement wherever it exists at all — the drop-offs and recyclers listed on this page are businesses and charities choosing to do it, not a program a resident is entitled to.
