What are your trash rules?
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, garbage cans are only for our customers to dispose of small trash, and not unsold merchandise.
VENDORS MUST TAKE HOME
Unsold merchandise
Broken merchandise
Furniture, canopies, bicycles, etc.
Packing material
Boxes
Trash
DO NOT
Do not put unwanted merchandise into or outside the garbage cans
Do not leave unsold merchandise in your space
Do not leave boxes-empty or full in your space
Do not place unsold merchandise in “Free” boxes
Do not place unsold merchandise or trash in a different vendor’s space
Do not dump trash on any property on or near the Allstate Arena
PLEASE DO THIS
Be thoughtful
Please bring your own trash bag for your cigarette butts and food waste
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 collect
PATROL
Wolff’s employees and police officers patrol the market to watch for offenders
We will photograph your space and record your license plate
We encourage vendors to watch for violator, as well as remind other vendors of our policy
If you see an violator, please inform one of our employees or call/text 847-524-9590
Your name will be kept confidential
