St. Clair County does not run curbside trash collection or set a countywide pickup schedule. In cities the municipality arranges (or contracts) collection; in unincorporated areas residents contract directly with a private licensed hauler. The county code covers disposal standards, not pickup days.
There is no St. Clair County ordinance setting garbage collection days or a countywide waste service. Municipalities such as Belleville, O'Fallon, and Fairview Heights either operate or contract residential collection and set their own set-out schedules. In the unincorporated county, households arrange service with a private hauler that must dispose of waste at a permitted facility. The county's role is regulatory - the Property Maintenance Code (Ch. 29) requires proper on-site storage, and the Sanitary Landfill Code (Ch. 32) governs where waste may be disposed. For your pickup day, contact your city or your private hauler.
No county pickup-schedule penalty. Improper on-site storage is a Property Maintenance petty offense (SCC 29-1-36); illegal disposal falls under the Sanitary Landfill Code and state litter law.
