Yard Waste

The City of Waverly's Yard Waste Site is located at 2800 5th Ave. NW, north of the Recycling Center.  Leaves, grass clippings, garden waste, trees, branches and brush are accepted here at no charge from Waverly residents only.  (Commercial haulers of brush, trees and logs for Waverly residents shall be charged the current rate.  Email Public Services or call 319-352-6247 for the current rate schedule.) 

The Yard Waste Site also accepts large, bulky items that are not picked up by the City's garbage trucks.  There is a fee for disposal of these items.  See Item No. 5 below.

The Yard Waste Site is comprised of 5 areas:

1. Drop-off site for leaves / grass clippings / garden waste (non-woody material).  All material to be emptied from bags, unless biodegradable bags are used.

2. Drop-off site for trees / branches / brush (woody material).  Large tree roots are not accepted. 
    
3. Pick-up site for wood mulch.  Wood mulch is the end result of the trees, branches, brush, etc. that were dropped off.  This material is free of charge to Waverly residents.  If there is an abundance of wood mulch, it may be available to those outside of Waverly City Limits.  Email Public Services or call 319-352-6247 if you are from outside Waverly. Wood mulch can be loaded by the City from 1-3 p.m. on Fridays.  For delivery of wood mulch, go to our Wood Mulch Order Form.
