What are your trash rules?

NOTE: WE DO NOT PROVIDE DUMPSTERS FOR VENDORS TO DISPOSE OF BOXES OR MERCHANDISE

Our dedicated employees are on their feet most of the day. Like many vendors, they have been up all night with little or no sleep. So please be mindful and take your extra trash with you so we do not need to walk the extra miles gathering it at the end of a long day.

WOLFF’S FLEA MARKET TRASH RULES - BRING IT IN, BRING IT OUT

In the attempt to keep Wolff’s the cleanest market in the Chicago area and to respect our landlord, we are updating our Trash Rules.

With over 700 sellers bringing truckloads of merchandise, this policy is necessary. Because of limited building dumpster space due to their own events, garbage cans are only for our customers to dispose of small trash, and not unsold merchandise.

VENDORS MUST TAKE HOME

• Unsold produce: Click here for produce rules

• Unsold merchandise

• Broken merchandise

• Furniture, canopies, bicycles, etc.

• Packing material

• Boxes

• Large Trash
  

DO NOT

• Do not put unwanted merchandise into or outside the garbage cans

• Do not leave unsold merchandise or trash in your space or any other space

• Do not leave boxes-empty or full in your space

• Do not place unsold merchandise in “Free” boxes

• Do not dump trash on any property on or near the Allstate Arena

• Do not ask staff to dispose of your merchandise

PLEASE DO THIS

• Be thoughtful

• Please bring your own trash bag for your cigarette butts and food waste - reasonable amounts of trash allowed for disposal

• If you sell small items that may spill, bring a broom/dustpan and clean up after yourself

• Clean up your own small dropped items like sharp objects, metal, jewelry parts, cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastic pieces, etc.

• Hold onto plastic bags and packing material to prevent blowing as this is difficult for us to collect

PLEASE TAKE YOUR UNSOLD MERCHANDISE

PATROL

• We patrol the market to watch for offenders

• We will photograph your space and record your license plate

• We encourage vendors to watch for violators, as well as remind other vendors of our policy

• Your name will be kept confidential

VIOLATORS
