MT. VERNON, IL — Republic Services is allowing Mt. Vernon residents to take bulk items to the transfer station at no charge. The only requirements are that the item is no more than 200 lbs and the resident present’s a copy of your current city water bill.

The city is still waiting on an alternative plan for yard waste disposal through Republic Services.

If Republic is able to offer another solution, there will be additional information to follow. Any additional questions can be directed to Mt. Vernon City Hall via phone at 618-242-6802 or email at lori.ulrich@mtvernon.com.
