Waste Disposal
Refuse Collection
Within the City of Granite City, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure that their garbage is disposed of properly. As such, refuse collection services are not provided by the City, but are provided by private companies, including Waste Management Inc. and Allied Waste Services.
When setting garbage out for collection, please note that City Ordinance requires that the refuse be placed within a garbage container and not simply in trash bags alone. Additionally, garbage may not be placed out for collection prior to 6:00 pm on the evening prior to the day of collection. Any resident not in compliance with the above regulations will be subject to fines up to $750 per violation and other penalties for repeat offenses.
