Code Enforcement and Waste Management Reminders
Some guidelines for cleaning up your yard and keeping your neighborhood clean during the spring and summer months:
- Residents are responsible for maintaining a clean area from the middle of the steet to the middle of the alley.
- Landscape Waste Pickup is included in your Waste Management bill and is picked up every Friday at the curb. Be sure to check your section of the alleyway for branches, weeds, trash, etc. Lawn waste must be kept separate from other trash and placed in proper lawn waste bags or containers marked for landscape waste. Limbs must be cut into lengths no longer than five feet and bundled with twine or rope for removal.
- Residents must keep their section of the alley free of trash and keep the grass mowed and the weeds trimmed at all times.
- Garbage must be kep in a garbage can with a tight-fitting lid. Plastic bags are not allowed to replace trash containers or to be used for lawn waste. Trash on the ground must be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent rodent problems.
- Please make sure to clean up after your animals. Animal waste attracts rats and other rodents.
- As of October 2007, there is no burning of any type of waste (landscape waste, garbage, etc.) in West Peoria.
- All trash pickup is now at the curb, with the exception of a few streets that are inacessible for curbside pick up.
- Recycling Service is offered by Waste Management for $5.75 per month. This is picked up at the curb every other Friday all year. Recycle Bins can be purchased at City Hall for $5.00 each.
