2012 Yardwaste Collection News

2012 Yardwaste Collection News March 2

Collection of yard waste for 2012 will commence on Monday April 2, 2012, for City of Peoria residents served by Peoria Disposal Company (PDC).

Yard waste set out for collection must be in:

  • Garbage cans marked “Yard Waste Only” which do not exceed 45 gallons in size nor 50 lbs. in weight.
  • Paper yard waste bags which do not exceed 30 lbs. in weight.
  • Bundles which do not exceed 5’ in length or 50 lbs. in weight.
  • 95-gallon wheeled tote carts compatible with the lift mechanism on PDC’s vehicles and clearly marked “Yard Waste Only.”

Cans, bags, and bundles which exceed the size and weight limits will not be collected. Each collection route serves approximately 1,200 homes each day, and adhering to the size and weight limits is essential in avoiding injuries to collection employees.

The 95-gallon wheeled tote carts must be manufactured to be compatible with the lift mechanism on PDC’s vehicles. These carts can be either purchased or rented directly from PDC. The purchase cost is $65.00 and the monthly rental fee is $2.50.

Questions about residential collection of Yard Waste or tote cart purchase or rental should be directed to PDC at 674-5176 (Option 1).
