Troy, IL – Residents in Troy and surrounding Madison County communities should prepare for the return of seasonal yard waste collection, which begins Tuesday and runs through December 31.
According to the Troy Illinois Police Department, yard waste removal is an optional service that requires a minimum three-month sign-up and is billed quarterly through Republic Services. The program officially starts April 1 and continues weekly throughout the growing season.
The service includes curbside pickup of biodegradable yard waste bags or approved personal containers. Officials say residents must use 30- to 32-gallon carts marked clearly with a red “X” if not using designated bags. Limbs that are not bagged must be bundled with twine and meet size restrictions, measuring no more than four feet in length and two to three inches in diameter.
The guidelines are designed to ensure efficient collection and prevent delays during peak seasonal demand. Improperly prepared yard waste may not be collected, potentially leaving residents responsible for cleanup or re-preparation.
The program impacts residents across Troy, located within the Metro East region near St. Louis, where spring cleanup and lawn maintenance activity typically increases in April.
Officials encourage residents to review all requirements before setting materials out for pickup to avoid missed collections. Those interested in enrolling or confirming service details should contact Republic Services directly.
As warmer weather returns, the seasonal program is expected to help manage increased yard debris while maintaining neighborhood cleanliness throughout the spring, summer, and fall months.
