Yard waste is separated from garbage under Illinois law and collected weekly from April 7 through December 19, and it is covered by the same monthly collection fee as the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the City monthly garbage collection fee, which the code says covers yard waste and recycling as well as standard household garbage, for single-family homes and buildings of four units or fewer.
When & how
Put yard waste out for the weekly collection between April 7 and December 19, on the same collection day as the garbage, and expect the holiday shift rule to move the week one day later when a City-observed holiday falls in it.
Get it ready
Keep yard waste separate from the household garbage because Illinois law requires the separation, and remember that Christmas trees are the only trees the City accepts, and they may be set out for the regular garbage collection.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

A few things worth knowing.
Yard debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pekin.
How much is bagged yard debris pickup?+
One contractor bag is $69; each additional bag is $20. Select your bag count to see the total. Every bag must be carryable, weigh 50 lb or less, and contain no dirt or gravel.
Can you pick up a loose pile of branches or yard waste?+
Contact our team for a custom quote. Text a photo of the whole pile, its approximate dimensions, your ZIP code and a view of the pickup access. We confirm the scope, price and scheduling before you book.
Can I book regular paper yard bags?+
The online item for this service is a standard contractor bag. If your yard debris is in another kind of bag, send a photo so our team can confirm the right booking.
Can I arrange same-day pickup?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Checkout shows the available dates for your address. Your booking is for a pickup day, rather than an exact arrival window. We send updates and photos after collection.
Where should I put my items?+
Use an accessible outdoor spot you are allowed to use, and follow the instructions in your confirmation. Keep sidewalks, entrances and vehicle access clear. You arrange any indoor carrying. For a loading dock or a short building access window, confirm the setup with our team before booking.
When is yard waste collected?+
Weekly from April 7 through December 19, on the household's collection day and separate from the garbage, because Illinois law requires yard waste to be kept out of the waste stream and the City sends all of it for recycling. The collection fee on the monthly wastewater bill covers yard waste along with garbage and recycling, and Christmas trees are the one tree the City takes and may be set out with the regular garbage.Official guidance
