2025 Spring Yard Waste Collection
The City of Champaign’s 2025 Spring Yard Waste Collection has been scheduled. The Orange Zone and the Blue Zone will each have one collection in April and one collection in May.
- All residents in the Orange Zone should put their materials out by 6 a.m. on Monday, April 7 and Monday, May 12, 2025.
- All residents in the Blue Zone should put their materials out by 6 a.m. on Monday, April 14 and Monday, May 19, 2025.
Please leave your materials out until they are collected. During the Spring Yard Waste Collection, there are no individual collection days as there are in the fall.
To find your collection zone, visit Champaign’s Yard Waste Collection Map and enter your address in the top left search bar. Collection is available to all residential properties within the City limits.
Crews will begin picking up materials on Monday of the scheduled week and work through the zone on consecutive days until all materials are collected. If your materials were not collected, make sure the items met Yard Waste Pickup Guidelines shown below. City crews will place a doorhanger or affix bright green stickers to your bags to indicate why items were not collected. If your items do not have stickers and they have not been collected on the Friday after your collection day, please contact Public Works at 217-403-4700.
Residents may also take yard waste to the Landscape Recycling Center at 1210 E. University Avenue in Urbana, Illinois, for a small fee.
