It depends on your street. City of Rockford Public Works sets the day for each address, and the lookup above reads it for yours.
Why does my Rockford address show no collection day?
Rockford's collection days are read from a route map, and not every address is on a residential route in it. An address that is not on one has no collection day here, and we say so rather than showing a day that is not yours.
