HollyHills Directory 2026

20 2026 | Holly Hills Directory Trash & Recycling Rules • Brown/Blue dumpsters – household trash only. • Green dumpsters – yard waste only (no large limbs). IMPORTANT • Don’t mix yard waste, trash, or recycling—this costs the city more money and slows service. • Bulk items (e.g., furniture, tires, mattresses) are not allowed in dumpsters. • Construction debris is illegal to dump in alleys—take one free truckload/month to 4100 S. 1st Street with proof of residency. BULK TRASH PICKUP • Scheduled once a month —check the sticker on your dumpster. • Place no more than 3 items behind your property by 6 am Monday of your week. • Remove refrigerator doors for safety. ALLEY AND DUMPSTER CARE • Keep your half of the alley clean and free of weeds/trash. • Report broken alley lights to Ameren: 314-342-1000. • Dumpsters: – Do not move or overfill. – Keep lids closed. – Leave 3 feet clear space around dumpsters. – No flammable or hazardous materials. – Shared only by residents on the same block. RECYCLING The city is ending alley recycling due to high contamination rates. Starting now, blue alley dumpsters will be used for trash only and collected with brown dumpsters. WHY THE CHANGE • In FY2025, over 50% of recycling was rejected due to contamination. • Rejected loads go to the landfill—but at 5 times the cost of trash. • Drop-off sites keep recyclables cleaner and the program more efficient.
