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

Dec. 22, 2022

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

From Monday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Dec. 31, 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.

Residents are encouraged to properly dispose of materials through compost and recycling when possible. The City of Dubuque already offers unlimited curbside recycling. Residents can search for the proper disposal method of many common materials at www.cityofdubuque.org/rethinkwaste.

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