City collection Furniture is the first category on the city's bulky waste list, with couches, tables, chairs, desks, end tables and entertainment centres named, so a couch leaves on the weekly collection inside the annual bill rather than in the cart. No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, with the bulky programme published as unlimited and no separate charge.
City collection A mattress is named on the city's bulky waste list, so bedding goes out on the weekly collection with the fee already inside the annual bill. The same list sets the three feet clearance and the set-out window that apply to it. No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, inside the unlimited bulky programme with no separate mattress charge published.
City collection The city's bulky list does not name appliances, and they are not on its refusal list either, so a refrigerator, stove or washer has to be confirmed with GFL before it goes out rather than assumed to ride the unlimited bulky allowance. No Peoria page names appliances or publishes an appliance charge, so call GFL at 309-688-0760 and confirm the unit before setting it out, and ask at the same time about any refrigerant handling.
City collection Peoria collects bulky waste on the weekly route without an item limit or a separate fee, because the cost sits inside the annual bill. Furniture, mattresses, building materials such as wood and sheetrock, carpet and underpadding are the published typical items, and the city asks residents to call GFL at 309-688-0760 so the truck can be staffed for the load. No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, with no item limit published and no separate bulky charge. The city states that the pickup happens whether or not residents call GFL in advance.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Peoria picks up its own household waste and bulky material rather than running events or vouchers. Bulky waste is unlimited: furniture, mattresses, building materials such as wood and sheetrock, carpet and underpadding all go out with the weekly collection, and the fee is already inside the annual bill. The city asks residents to call GFL at 309-688-0760 so the truck can be staffed for the load, though the pickup happens whether or not the call is made. Anything that fits in the cart goes inside it with the lid closed, a bigger item is bagged and set at least three feet from the carts, and an item too large for a bag is set three feet clear as well, out as early as 3 p.m. the day before and by 6 a.m. on the collection day. Not everything rides that truck: electronics, tires, chemicals, concrete, rock, dirt and fluorescent tubes are refused, and each has its own answer, from the Illinois ban on landfilling electronic waste to three local tire businesses and the county line for sharps questions. Yard waste runs from April 6 to December 11 with its own container and bundle rules.

No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, with no item limit published and no separate bulky charge. The city states that the pickup happens whether or not residents call GFL in advance.
When & how
Set the material out as early as 3 p.m. the day before the weekly collection and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day, and call GFL at 309-688-0760 if you want the load flagged.
Get it ready
Put anything small enough for the cart inside it with the lid closed, bag a larger item and set the tied bag at least three feet from the carts and other obstacles, and set an item too large for a bag at least three feet clear as well. Keep electronics, tires, chemicals, concrete, rock, dirt and fluorescent tubes out of the pile.
Furniture is the first category on the city's bulky waste list, with couches, tables, chairs, desks, end tables and entertainment centres named, so a couch leaves on the weekly collection inside the annual bill rather than in the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, with the bulky programme published as unlimited and no separate charge.
When & how
Set the piece out between 3 p.m. the day before the collection and 6 a.m. on the collection day, and call GFL at 309-688-0760 if you want the load flagged.
Get it ready
Bag a piece that is too big for the cart and set the tied bag at least three feet from the carts, set an item too large for a bag three feet clear as well, and keep electronics, tires and chemicals out of the same pile.
A mattress is named on the city's bulky waste list, so bedding goes out on the weekly collection with the fee already inside the annual bill. The same list sets the three feet clearance and the set-out window that apply to it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, inside the unlimited bulky programme with no separate mattress charge published.
When & how
Set the unit out between 3 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day, at least three feet from the carts and other obstacles.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry, set it three feet clear of the carts, mailboxes and parked cars, and keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts because the bulky route is the published one for bedding.
The city's bulky list does not name appliances, and they are not on its refusal list either, so a refrigerator, stove or washer has to be confirmed with GFL before it goes out rather than assumed to ride the unlimited bulky allowance.
City cost & eligibility
No Peoria page names appliances or publishes an appliance charge, so call GFL at 309-688-0760 and confirm the unit before setting it out, and ask at the same time about any refrigerant handling.
When & how
Call GFL at 309-688-0760 to confirm the appliance, then set it out in the published bulky window if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts, and keep chemicals such as oil, antifreeze and refrigerants out of the pile because hazardous material is refused on the bulky route.
Electronics are refused on the bulky route, where computers, televisions and printers are named among the items not picked up, and Illinois has barred landfills from accepting electronic waste since January 1, 2012, with the city directing residents to the Illinois EPA for disposal recommendations.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no permanent electronics drop-off or fee for Peoria and points to the Illinois EPA for recommendations, so confirm a recycler or a collection event before storing a device, and never put it in the trash because the state bans electronic waste from landfills.
When & how
Keep the device out of the bulky pile and the carts, and use an Illinois EPA listed recycler or collection rather than a curbside route.
Get it ready
Keep computers, televisions and printers out of the garbage and recycling carts and off the bulky pile, wipe personal data before handover, and check the Illinois EPA recommendations for a recycler that takes the device.
Building materials are part of the city's bulky waste list, with wood and sheetrock named, and carpet and underpadding are named with them, so a small renovation load goes out with the weekly collection inside the annual bill. Concrete, rock and dirt are the exceptions and are refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual bill for a city of Peoria resident, inside the unlimited bulky programme for building materials such as wood and sheetrock and for carpet and underpadding. Concrete, rock and dirt are refused on the same route.
When & how
Set the material out between 3 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day, at least three feet from the carts, and call GFL at 309-688-0760 to flag a larger load.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, rock and dirt out of the pile because the city refuses them, keep chemicals and fluorescent tubes out as well, bundle or bag loose material so it stays put at the curb, and keep a load larger than the weekly pile coordinated with GFL before it is set out.
Exercise equipment is not named on the bulky list or the refusal list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with GFL before it goes out, even though it looks like the same kind of load the unlimited bulky programme takes.
City cost & eligibility
No Peoria page names exercise equipment or publishes a rate for it, so call GFL at 309-688-0760 and confirm the machine before it is set out.
When & how
Call GFL to confirm the machine, then set it out in the published bulky window if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its heaviest piece when calling, take it apart as far as it comes apart so two people can handle it, and keep any console or battery pack separate.
Chemicals and fluorescent tubes are refused on the bulky route, so hazardous material never goes out with the trash. Sharps go into a properly sealed container before they are placed in the trash, with Peoria County Solid Waste Management answering at 309-681-2550, and the city has no tire programme at all, naming three local businesses that take tires for a nominal fee.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no household hazardous waste site or fee for Peoria, and the tire businesses quote a nominal fee without a figure, so confirm the route and the price before material is stored or loaded.
When & how
Keep chemicals, fluorescent tubes and tires out of the trash and the bulky pile, consult Peoria County Solid Waste Management at 309-681-2550 about sharps containers, and use one of the named tire businesses for tires.
Get it ready
Place needles and syringes in a properly sealed container such as a detergent or bleach bottle or a proper sharps container before they go in the trash, never put sharps in the recycling cart, and keep paints, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane and fluorescent tubes out of every curbside stream.
Peoria asks residents to put bulky material out as early as 3 p.m. the day before the weekly collection and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day. An item small enough to fit goes in the trash cart with the lid closed; anything bigger is bagged and the tied bag is set at least three feet from the carts and other obstacles; and an item too large for a bag is set at least three feet clear as well, away from cars, mailboxes and anything else in the way. Calling GFL at 309-688-0760 flags the load so the truck can be staffed for it, and the city states the pickup happens whether or not that call is made.
The city's bulky page refuses electronics such as computers, televisions and printers, tires, hazardous materials and chemicals, concrete, rock and dirt, and fluorescent tubes, and it sends readers to the other disposal page for each. In practice that means electronic waste is barred from Illinois landfills and goes to an Illinois EPA recommendation instead, chemicals and bulbs stay out of every curbside stream, and tires are handled by one of three local businesses the city names because Peoria runs no tire programme.
Yard waste collection runs from April 6 to December 11 in 2026 and is picked up the same day as trash. Containers are plastic or metal carts of 40 to 45 gallons with two handles and a tight fitting lid, or wheeled carts of 65 or 95 gallons, labelled with a Yard Waste Only sticker available at City Hall, Public Works or any GFL location, and compostable paper bags are accepted while compostable plastic bags are not. Lids close, a filled bag may not exceed 30 pounds, containers sit three feet from the trash and recycling carts, and bundles are tied with nonmetallic cord at no more than five feet and 50 pounds. The container moves off the curb within 24 hours and is stored in a garage or alongside the house rather than in front of or behind the home.
Collection is delayed by one day when the pickup falls on or after New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, so a household on a weekly schedule shifts with the holiday and the bulky and yard waste routes follow the same shift.
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.

City of Peoria Public Works with GFL Environmental
Flag the load with GFL
A household setting out a large or awkward pile who wants the truck staffed for it.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The call is free and the city states that the bulky pickup happens whether or not residents notify GFL, so the call is a courtesy step rather than a requirement.
Arrange it
Call GFL at 309-688-0760 to say what is going out, and use the same number for dead animal reports on city right of ways during business hours.
Calling does not make a refused item acceptable, so electronics, tires, chemicals, concrete, rock, dirt and fluorescent tubes stay off the pile regardless.

Cost & conditions
The city states it has no tire programme and that the named businesses accept tires for a nominal fee, without publishing an amount, so confirm the charge with the business before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Call Firestone at 1601 N Knoxville on 309-685-2885, Plaza Tire at 1800 SW Washington on 309-673-8261 or Tire Plus at 4700 N Brandywine on 309-681-0693.

Arrange it
Check the Illinois EPA recommendations for a recycler or collection that takes the device, and keep it out of the trash and the bulky pile while arrangements are made.
Illinois has barred landfills from accepting electronic waste since January 1, 2012, so no part of the device belongs in the garbage, and the city publishes no local site.
