City of Coralville recently issued the following announcement.
Yard Waste Collection Dates
With the expected arrival of spring weather, City of Coralville yard waste collection is scheduled to resume the week of March 21, 2022, weather permitting. Once yard waste collection season begins, yard waste is picked up on regular trash / recycling collection days until late November as weather allows.
What to Do With Yard Waste
Place yard waste in a Coralville recyclable yard waste bag, or in a 33-gallon container that has a 2022 annual yard waste sticker. There is a 40 pound weight limit per bag / container. Put yard waste at the curb by 7:00 am on your collection day.
Coralville recyclable yard waste bags are available for $1 each at Coralville City Hall, both Coralville Hy-Vee locations, and Theisen's. If you use yard waste bags, note that only Coralville yard waste bags will be picked up.
Annual yard waste stickers are on sale at City Hall for $25 each, or $25.50 by mail, and are valid for the 2022 yard waste season.
What Belongs in Your Yard Waste
Leaves, lawn clippings, garden residue, plants, and weeds are accepted in yard waste. Rocks are not accepted.
Food Scraps & Dirty Pizza Boxes
Food scraps or other organic materials may be placed in yard waste bags/bins. No special composting cart is needed. Yard waste picked up in Coralville’s curbside program is taken to the compost area at the Iowa City Landfill.
To reduce mess, wrap food waste in newspaper or in ASTM D6400 certified-compostable bags before placing food waste in a yard waste bin or bag. Regular trash bags and plastic bags are not compostable, and yard waste bins/bags with these will not be collected.
Cardboard pizza boxes that have food residue on them can be included in your yard waste (recycle the clean part of the cardboard box).
What to Do With Brush & Tree Limbs
Curbside pickup of brush and tree limbs is available during yard waste collection season on your regular trash / recycling day at no charge. Tie brush and tree limbs in bundles, with each bundle no greater than 18 inches in diameter. Individual limbs in the bundles should be no larger than 2 inches in diameter and 4 feet long.
