Peoria residents and business owners: listen up. The city is proposing a hike in commercial solid waste rates, and your wallet might feel the pinch. According to a public notice by the City of Peoria, there's a public hearing slated for June 3, 2025, to discuss and potentially seal the deal on increased rates for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
For those playing at home, this means your trash collection — front-load, compactor, side-load, you name it — could cost more. The proposed figures are rolling out across the board, with front-load services looking at a 2.15% increase in FY 2026, and a slightly more modest 2.00% the following year. The numbers game continues with compactor services getting a potential 2.40% boost in FY 2026, and recycling isn't getting off easy either, teasing a 5.75% uptick, the same for both years.
This information is sourced directly from the City of Peoria’s official website. For those interested in participating, a public meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on June 3 at the City Council Chambers, located at 8401 W. Monroe Street. This meeting provides an opportunity for residents to voice their opinions before final decisions are made.
