Solid Waste
In 1990, the City of Sterling became one of the first five cities in Illinois to offer volume based solid waste collection. That is, the greater volume of waste one disposes of, the greater the cost. At the same time, the City added recycling and yard waste collection services. The City currently contracts with Rock Valley Disposal to collect waste from nearly 5200 residential properties in the City. Residential collection consists of refuse, bulk waste, recycling and yard waste, and white goods collections. Commercial and industrial collection is handled through private contracts.
