Tinley Park requires refuse and recycling carts to be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before collection and retrieved within 24 hours after collection. Between pickups, carts must be stored out of view from the public street, typically in a rear yard, screened side yard, or garage. Carts at the curb must be arranged to not block sidewalks or driveways.
Tinley Park's property maintenance code regulates cart placement to maintain neighborhood aesthetics. Carts may be placed at the curb starting after 5:00 PM the day before scheduled collection and must be retrieved from the curb by the end of the collection day (or at the latest within 24 hours of pickup). Between collections, carts must be stored out of view from the public street: acceptable locations include the rear yard, a side yard behind a fence or screening landscaping, or inside the garage. Front yard storage visible from the street is a code violation. At the curb, carts must be placed with wheels against the curb, handles facing the house, 2 to 3 feet apart, and not blocking sidewalks, driveways, mailboxes, or fire hydrants. Cart lids must close (overflowing carts may not be collected). Residents should not move neighbors' carts without permission. Snow or ice should not block cart placement; Homewood Disposal crews will skip inaccessible carts and residents may need to request a return trip or wait for the next pickup.
Carts left at the curb beyond 24 hours or stored visibly in front yards may result in warnings and fines of $25 to $75. Repeat violations escalate. Code Enforcement: (708) 444-5100.
