Galesburg shifts to monthly winter yard waste pickup

Galesburg will reduce yard waste pickup to once a month in December, January and February, with three designated collection periods scheduled through early 2027. The winter schedule begins Dec. 7-11, according to a community announcement from the city of Galesburg. The remaining collection periods are Jan. 4-8 and Feb. 1-5. Residents should put yard waste out on their regular refuse pickup date during the designated collection period. The city normally collects yard waste each week from March through November on residents' regular refuse collection dates. Yard waste includes leaves, grass, shrub clippings, garden waste, brush and woody material. Residents should place the material in a paper yard waste bag or a trash container designated for yard waste. Tree limbs must be tied with degradable twine and measure less than 5 feet long and no more than 5 inches in diameter. Bundles may weigh no more than 50 pounds.
