Davenport provides curbside recycling every other week. Accepted materials include glass, aluminum, steel and tin cans, #1 and #2 plastics, newspaper, magazines, and cardboard. Recyclables must be clean and separated from trash, or the load can be rejected.
Municipal Code 8.08.020 defines recyclable materials as food-container glass, aluminum, steel (tin) cans, #1 and #2 plastics, uncontaminated newspaper and glossy paper (magazines), and cardboard. Under 8.08.060(E) recyclables must be clean and separated from other refuse, and 8.08.090(H) requires them placed in city-approved containers at the collection point. Recycling and bulky waste are collected on the same every-other-week day. Iowa has no statewide household-recycling mandate; Davenport runs curbside recycling as a municipal service funded through the solid waste fee. Contaminated material can be left at the curb.
Contaminated or improperly prepared recycling may be left uncollected. Repeated solid waste violations are municipal infractions under Sec. 8.08.140: $100 first offense, $200 second, and $500 for subsequent offenses.
