This facility is funded in partnership by the Illinois EPA, DuPage County, Kane County, Will County, and the Cities of Aurora and Naperville.
All Illinois residents may use this site regardless of county or municipal location, but it is for waste generated through household/residential operations (i.e., no business waste is accepted).
