Mayor's Clean Up Week is a great time to throw out an item too large to fit in your garbage cart, such as broken furniture and bathroom fixtures, for free garbage pickup. Available to Coralville city trash and recycling customers.

Mayor's Clean Up Week is for items that need to be thrown away and cannot be reused. Do not send usable items to the landfill. Where to donate usable items

How to Get Items Picked Up

1. Place items too big for your trash cart at the curb up to 24 hours before or by 7:00 am on your regular trash collection day. Smaller items belong in your cart. If your cart is full, place smaller items in a garbage bag and tag the extra bags as usual. Do not dump loose small items on the ground.
2. Remove items not accepted from the curb within 24 hours after collection day (metal is picked up by a separate truck and may be picked up on a day that is different from your regular collection day).

Restrictions:

• Weight: Items must be able to be reasonably lifted by two people.
• Size: Items must fit in the garbage truck. Take apart large items.
• What we'll take: See www.coralville.org/cleanup for a full list of what we'll take.
