The City of Peoria is proposing increases to commercial solid waste rates over the next two fiscal years. The proposed adjustments will be discussed during a public hearing scheduled for May 20 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 8401 W. Monroe Street.
According to a draft report released by the city, the proposed rate increases for fiscal year 2026 include a 2.15 percent increase for front-load services, a 2.40 percent increase for compactor services, a 10 percent increase for side-load services, and a 5.75 percent increase for recycling services. Roll-off, special haul, and miscellaneous fees are also expected to rise by 2.40 percent.
In fiscal year 2027, the city plans to implement additional increases, including a 2 percent hike for front-load services, 2.30 percent for compactor services, and 8 percent for side-load services. Roll-off, special haul, and miscellaneous fees are projected to increase by 2.30 percent. The city cited rising operational and service delivery costs as reasons for the adjustments. Businesses that rely on commercial waste services may need to prepare for higher expenses if the proposed changes are approved. The proposed rate changes have been publicly posted since March 20 to allow time for community review. Residents and business owners are encouraged to attend the public hearing to provide input before the council makes a final decision.
