Iowa collection guides
Iowa trash pickup by city.
Check an Iowa street address, or open one of the 12 city guides below: 10 of them show the verified collection day for an address and the source behind it, and the other 2 say who collects and where the day is published.
What is verified
Iowa collection, measured.
Every day on the 10 Iowa guides here that show one is read from the city or hauler that publishes it; each of them was last checked between August 17, 2026 and October 7, 2026.
Collection days differ from street to street across these cities, which is why no single statewide day is assumed here.
Collection information for these cities is read from 12 local sources: Cedar Rapids Solid Waste & Recycling, City of Ames Recycling Pickup Days, City of Ankeny Trash & Recycling, City of Cedar Falls and 8 more.
Local responsibility
Iowa does not have one statewide pickup day.
Schedules are set locally, so two Iowa addresses can differ in provider, weekday, and holiday rules.
Good to knowTrashDayNow is independent; the local provider remains the authority.
