Prairieland Disposal and Recycling – Dumpster Rentals, Municipal Services, Roll-off Containers, Drop-off Services, and more.

Prairieland Disposal & Recycling is an environmentally-conscious waste hauler and recycler serving the greater Lake, McHenry and Cook counties.

Our mission is to provide honest, cost-effective waste collection services while maintaining our reputation as stewards of the environment. We are proud to be one of the first disposal companies in Illinois to perform food/organic scrapping year-round. We use biodiesel fuel in our vehicles, and much of the residential and commercial waste we collect is recycled.

From weekly pick-up services and dumpster rentals to custom-tailored collection programs, we’re here to help. Call our live customer service representative today at 847-381-9300 to learn how Prairieland Disposal & Recycling can help you with your individual needs.
