BAGSTER BAG - A DUMPSTER IN A BAG

The Village of Round Lake is offering Bagsters for sale at Village Hall.  Bagsters are provided by Waste Management as an alternative to renting a dumpster for bigger household jobs. 

The Bagster bag is the newest and easiest cleanup solution for remodeling projects, moving preparation, landscaping projects and general home/garage cleanup.

BUY. Purchase a Bagster bag at your local home improvement retailers.
FILL. Use the Bagster bag at your convenience.
GONE.® Contact Bagster for prompt, professional collection service.

The retail price for a Bagster is $20.00 plus tax.  The collection fee is $129 for the first bag and $99 for each additional bag collected at the same address. In total, the price of the Bagster bag plus the collection fees are typically less than a traditional steel dumpster rental - with the added benefit of convenience.

Are you planning on upgrading your DVD player to a Blu-Ray player or have an old computer you don't use? Beginning January 1, 2012, the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act landfill ban for certain electronic devices will take effect.  Electronic items such as televisions, monitors, computers and printers will no longer be allowed in the regular trash.  Due to potentially toxic contaminants and chemicals, the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act (2008) requires manufacturers to establish recycling programs for electronics if they sell their products in Illinois. The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) also provides electronics recycling events, free of charge for Lake County residents. For more information, please visit the Electronics Collection Event website or call SWALCO at 847.336.9340
