Chicago - Stolen Garbage Container - How do I get a new one?

Question

Last night and the day the garbage was picked up someone decided to steal my garbage container from the alley, it was labeled too of course, but it's gone..

Does anyone how I can receive a new one from the city? A number to call?

Answer 1

You have to call your alderman's or ward office. Maybe call Streets & Sanitation.

Answer 2

I wonder why someone would want to steal a garbage container.

But anyway you can contact the city department and they'll probably transfer you to the Public Waste&disposal center where you can request a new one.

try googling it and see what comes up.

hope this helped!

Hi Damian,

Since you live in Chicago, try the Chicago Non-Emergency Help Line:

311

They can provide you with specifics and general info on getting your container replaced.
