For the first time residents will be able to drop off bulk items for pickup at the Somers Village/Town Hall, 7511 12th Street. Garbage contractor Johns Disposal will have a truck available on Oct. 25, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon.
Residents will have the opportunity to drop off no more than what can be carried in one truck bed or single-axle trailer full (not to exceed 10 feet in length).
Only items that are typically accepted in landfills such as furniture, bagged waste, carpeting (cut into 4-foot sections rolled and bundled together), etc., will be permitted.
No appliances, automotive batteries, scrap metal or recyclable materials will be allowed.
The service is offered on a first-come first served basis and will end once the garbage truck is full.
The service is free to Somers residents. You will be asked to show proof of residence at the event.
This day was picked to coincide with the e-cycling, shredding and national DEA Drug Take Back Day that already takes place that day at the Village/Town Hall.

Electronics are a growing share of the waste stream. Televisions, laptops, tablets, video players, external hard drives, cell phones and other electronics contain valuable materials that can be recovered through recycling. Electronics also contain hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, that is harmful if released in the environment.

Wisconsin law bans most electronics from landfills and incinerators.
