DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) — The unseasonably warm weather in the QCA has allowed for many to get out and prepare their gardens for spring planting. But what do you do with all of the yard waste?
To help Davenport residents, the Compost Facility is extending its days of operation to include Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 3pm, beginning Saturday, March 5, 2017. Yard waste drop-off disposal fees will apply.
For those looking for curbside pickup, you’ll have to wait until the service starts back up on Monday, April 3, 2017. The Compost Facility’s summer hours also begin on April 3, with summer hours extending the weekday hours of operation.
Free, no sticker yard waste weeks are Monday, April 3, 2017 through Friday, April 14, 2017. Only City of Davenport solid waste customers are eligible for no sticker yard waste weeks.
During free yard waste weeks residents may place yard wastes in a Kraft-ply bag or their yard waste cart on their normal collection day without the $1.60 yard waste sticker or yard waste cart collection fee. Drop-off at the Davenport Compost Facility is also free for solid waste customers during free yard waste weeks.
