                                      The City picks up household garbage weekly and hauls to the local landfill.  Residents pay for this service with their monthly solid waste fee.  To insure the citizens are receiving the best value, the City created a Solid Waste Enterprise Fund that holds the monies collected and limits their use to Solid Waste operations.  Please see below for common issues and resolutions.

                                      I need to purchase a toter

                                      To order a toter, call the City of Danville Finance Department at 217.431-2200 or visit City Hall at 17 W Main.  After payment, we will deliver the toter to your house.  A large toter is $55 and the smaller toter is $37.  

                                      Large Set Out Pick Up

                                      Each residential property that has City of Danville solid waste service can have  two "Cleanup" collections each calendar year.  The year starts each January, pick ups do not roll over from one year to the next.  They must be scheduled at least 1 working day in advance.  To schedule call 217-431-2288 or email the gatekeeper.

                                      They didn't pick up my trash

                                      Before contacting us:
                                      •  If there was a City holiday this week, your pick up will be delayed by one day.  See the City holidays in the download file or on the Danville Solid Waste Calendar.  
                                      • If your garbage was not in a toter in trash bags with the lid closed, then a Cleanup collection probably should have been scheduled, see above
                                      • We start early, if you did not get your toter out in time we would have missed you.  If you can wait one week, please do so.
                                      • If we missed your toter, we are sorry.  Call 217-431-2288 or email the Solid Waste Department so we can correct the mistake.

                                      Common Toter Issues

                                      • My toter was stolen:  Call 911 and report the theft.  To purchase a replacement toter call the City Finance department at 217 431-2200 .
                                      • Toters can be placed out after 5pm the night before pick up and must be removed by midnight on collection day.
                                      • Toter lids must be closed.
                                      • Toters should be spaced at least 2 feet apart, away from cars or any other obstacles, and at the curb or street edge for our equipment to work.
                                      • See something that violates the rules:  please report to Inspections, they report and enforce city ordinances.
