Full Breakdown

Trash is collected weekly on an assigned day; recycling and bulky waste share an every-other-week day. Municipal Code 8.08.025 requires at least weekly collection between 7 AM and 9 PM. Any collection falling on or after an observed holiday (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) shifts one day later for the rest of that week. Look up your day and holiday calendar at davenportiowa.com/solidwaste or the free Go All In QC app. Overflow beyond your cart is collected only in city refuse-sticker bags.

Violations & Fines

Setting carts out late means a missed pickup until the next cycle. Violating collection rules is a municipal infraction: $100 first offense, $200 second, $500 after, each day a separate offense (Sec. 8.08.140).
