Tinley Park contracts with Homewood Disposal for residential refuse and recycling collection. Residents must place bins at the curb no earlier than the evening before pickup and must retrieve bins within 24 hours of pickup. Bins must be stored out of view from the front street between collections, typically in the rear or side yard or in the garage.
Tinley Park's property maintenance code requires residents to manage refuse containers to avoid creating nuisance conditions. The Village contracts with Homewood Disposal Service for residential refuse and recycling collection, and residents receive wheeled carts for refuse and recycling. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening prior to scheduled collection (typically after 5:00 PM the day before) and must be retrieved from the curb within 24 hours after collection (typically by the end of the collection day). Between collections, carts must be stored out of view from the public street, either in the rear yard, side yard screened from view, or in the garage. Carts must be kept clean, closed to prevent odor and animal access, and should not exceed the capacity for which they were designed. Extra refuse beyond cart capacity may require purchase of additional stickers or bags. Commercial refuse containers (dumpsters) have separate rules governing screening, service frequency, and pad specifications.
Leaving carts at the curb beyond 24 hours after collection, or storing carts in front yards visible from the street, may result in a warning and then a fine of $25 to $75. Persistent violations escalate. Code Enforcement: (708) 444-5100.
