Davenport & Bettendorf Start No Yard Waste Stickers Weeks

The two major cities on the Iowa side of the Quad Cities have started their 'No Sticker Yard Waste Weeks' to help get your yard cleaned up and ready for summer.

If you have some leaves leftover from fall or are already able to cut your grass, you'll be able to get rid of those clippings and other yard waste in those yard waste bags for free.

Every fall and spring, the cities of Davenport and Bettendorf have 'No Sticker Yard Waste Weeks'. This is a chance for you to get rid of lawn clippings, leaves, and other yard waste without purchasing a Yard Waste Sticker.

In an announcement on social media, the Davenport Public Works announced that curbside yard waste collection resumes and spring No Sticker Yard Waste Weeks are here.
