Joliet requires all garbage, recycling, and yard waste containers to be placed at the curb no later than 7:00 AM on the designated collection day. Containers should be removed from the curb by the end of the collection day. Bins must be placed at the curb with lids closed and should not block sidewalks or driveways.
Under Chapter 14 of the Joliet Municipal Code (Municipal Waste), residents must follow specific bin placement guidelines for curbside collection by Waste Management. Containers must be at the curb by 7:00 AM on the scheduled collection day. Bins should be placed with handles facing the residence and lids securely closed. Containers must not block sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants, or mailboxes. After collection, containers should be retrieved and stored on the property, not left at the curb indefinitely. Excessive accumulation of waste outside containers is not permitted. Yard waste must be in kraft paper bags or clearly marked yard waste containers during the seasonal collection period. Items protruding from containers or loose waste next to bins may not be collected.
Containers left at the curb beyond the collection day, blocking sidewalks or driveways, or overflowing with loose waste may result in code enforcement warnings and potential citations.
