Yard Waste Collection Begins

  • City of Wilmington Wilmington, IL, 60481 United States (map)

The City of Wilmington's residential weekly yard waste collection program resumes on April 5, 2024.

Landscape waste must be placed in paper yard waste bags or clearly labeled cans or carts. Bundled small branches will also be picked up.

How to Participate in Curbside Collection

On your regular refuse pick-up day, by 6 AM, place grass, weeds, small branches, twigs and leaves in 32-gallon paper yard waste bags or a clearly labeled (Yard Waste Only) 32-gallon can. Alternatively, branches less than 3 inches in diameter may be tied in bundles that measure up to 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. Secure each bundle with biodegradable twine. Bags and bundles have a 60-pound weight limit.

What’s not included with the pick-up program   

Unbundled brush, whole trees and limbs greater than 4 inches in diameter, stumps, sod, and dirt.   

This program runs until November 30, 2024.
