2. All trash needs to be bagged for collection, even trash inside your City of Peoria or personal trash cart.
3. Trash carts need to be set out by 6:00 a.m. and removed from the curb or alley by 5:00 p.m. It may be put out as early as 3:00 p.m. the previous day.
4. Be sure your container is not blocked by obstacles such as cars, snow, or mailboxes.

Where do I put my cart and when will be picked up?

Your trash cart will be picked up every week.

Trash may be set out as early as 3:00 p.m. the day before pickup but must be out by 6:00 a.m. on pickup day to avoid missing a collection.

On your pickup day, move your trash cart from the curb or alley by 5:00 p.m. It needs to be placed in your garage or along the side of your home or garage, it cannot be in front or back of your house.
