Dubuque Allowing Solid Waste Customers ‘Extra Bag’ for Collection During the Holidays

DUBUQUE, Iowa – The City of Dubuque is allowing its solid waste collection customers to set out one extra bag of garbage this holiday season. 

With City facilities being closed to the public due to COVID-19, there will be no distribution of annual complimentary “holiday tags” for extra garbage to curbside collection customers. Instead, from Monday, Dec. 28, 2020, through Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021, all customers will be allowed to set out one extra 35-gallon container (up to 40 lbs.) or bag without the usually required green sticker. Trash must be set out to the curb or alley line by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.

For additional information, please contact the Public Works Department at 563-589-4250.
