You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
City cost & eligibility
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.
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.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
