Composting
The City’s curbside composting program accepts Halloween and Thanksgiving pumpkins. Remove any
candles or lights from inside your pumpkins before composting. It is also a great option for food
scraps. Limit food waste by only preparing what you’ll eat. Learn more at icgov.org/Compost.
Recycling
It’s tempting to recycle all of your holiday wrapping and packaging, but remember no glitter or
metallic paper and cards, tissue paper, plastic film, plastic wrap or Styrofoam. Limit waste by reusing
gift bags, packaging and wrapping. Learn more at icgov.org/Recycle.
No service
Crews will not collect on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. If these dates fall
on your collection day, have materials to the curb by 7 a.m. the next day. Stay tuned to service
notices at icgov.org/News. For more information, call 319-356-5151.
Avoid towing during a City Snow Emergency
When an Iowa City Snow Emergency is declared because of extreme snow conditions, on-street
parking will be restricted so that snowplows can get streets cleared. Vehicles parked on the street in
violation of the ordinance can be ticketed $50 and towed. Costs for the ticket and tow can exceed
$200. Please plan ahead for Snow Emergencies!
For more information on Snow Emergencies and what to do if one is declared, visit icgov.org/Snow.
