Dumpster Rental in Oak Lawn, IL

Special Waste and Oak Lawn’s Redevelopment

The Village of Oak Lawn was founded by original settlers in the 1800’s and incorporated and, in 1909, voted to incorporate.  The Village would later expand greatly in the post-WWII environment that brought a population boom and an expansion of government services.  In 2002, Oak Lawn endeavored upon a redevelopment project that demolished existing structures to accommodate condominium complexes and new retail space.

Oak Lawn’s Green Spaces and Public Recreation

Oak Lawn has and maintains over three hundred acres of parks that fall under the management of the Oak Lawn Park District and includes:

• Several playgrounds, walking paths and picnic areas.
• A wetland refuge for nature lovers and wildlife.
• A dog park for dog lovers.
• Public tennis courts.
• A golf driving range and a golf course and clubhouse.
• Recreational facilities, swimming pools, and fitness centers.
• An ice arena for fun skating and hockey players.

One example is the Oak Lawn Community Garden located at 5220 W. 105th Street in Oak Lawn.  The garden offers an area for the public to rent space and grow vegetables or cut flowers.  Lots are rented in four by ten-foot plots or four by sixteen plots.  Volunteers also grow vegetables that are generated for the local food pantry.

Disposal of Special Waste

Residents and businesses in Oak Lawn often benefit greatly from getting a high-quality dumpster at the guaranteed lowest price from Easy Dumpster Rental.  But certain items are not allowed in a dumpster bin or the trash.  For these items, Easy Dumpster Rental sets out to help you dispose of these items properly so that extra fees are not levied at the landfill.  As follows are the methods of disposal for certain items:

• Special waste should never be placed in a dumpster as it is bad for the health of the environment and public if it is placed in a landfill. Some of these items include household hazardous waste and special items such as wet paints, automotive parts and fluids, and drums. Additionally, some construction waste may be restricted for regular disposal but may be acceptable with certain special construction and demolition dumpster bins.
• If you have wet paint, it should not be slipped into the garbage or placed in a dumpster bin. But what can be done with these items that may result from a garage or shed clean up? Latex paints are appropriate for regular waste but must be dried out with sand or kitty litter.  Oil-based paint, on the other hand, should be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste drop off sites.
• Electronic waste is also generally not permitted in dumpster bins unless prearranged with Easy Dumpster Rental to provide for special disposal. As a result, it may be economical to self-haul some electronic items for disposal.  Television, radios, phones, microwaves, toaster, and other electronics may be brought to the Public Works building located at 5550 W. 98th Street, which can be found at 98th Street and Central Avenue.
