Yard Waste Collection Ends Friday, December 13

There are a few more weeks of yard waste collection for 2024. The week ending Friday, Dec. 13, will be the final chance to have yard waste picked up curbside until March 2025.

Yard waste materials include grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs, and brush. Limbs and sticks can be bundled with nonmetallic cord, such as twine, but must be less than five feet in length and bundles should weigh less than 50 pounds.

Residents are encouraged to use their own containers for unbundled materials. Yard waste is hard on the carts. Only use the City of Peoria's carts for recycling and garbage and a separate container for yard waste. This helps to prolong the life of the City's carts.

Use plastic or metal garbage cans between 40 and 45 gallons in size, with two handles, and a tight-fitting lid. Wheeled carts that are either 65 or 95 gallons in size are also acceptable. Please label cans or carts with "Yard Waste Only" stickers, which are available at City Hall, Public Works, or any GFL Environmental location.
