The City does not pick up items in alleys. The City also will not pick up items in garbage cans, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, or any cardboard. The city may refuse to pick up items if it is determined to be an abuse pile. 

The City will also not pick up any items that may be recycled through the Landfill of North Iowa’s electronic waste-recycling program. Landfill customers may drop off VCR’s, DVD players, stereo equipment, clock radios, gaming equipment, computer towers, mouses and keyboards, input devices, scanners, video and surveillance cameras, fax machines, and cordless phones for recycling.
