PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT AT HOME, AT WORK AND IN OUR COMMUNITY

4 54 5

A Place We Call HomePerched on the bluffs of the Mississippi River, Scott County, Iowa, is home to not only one of America’s great waterways, but also some of the richest farmland in the world. When we protect our land and water, we do so not only for ourselves but also for those who live and work along this great river and for those who benefit from the food we grow. In order to ensure protection of our local resources, the Waste Commission of Scott County was formed more than 30 years ago.

Who We AreAs an intergovernmental agency, the Waste Commission’s members include 17 communities and Scott County that share our mission to provide environmentally sound and economically feasible solid waste management. Our Commission is comprised of five elected officials representing the various communities.

What We DoThe Commission has planned, sited, built and operates: • Scott Area Landfill • Scott Area Household Hazardous Material (HHM) Facilities • Electronic Demanufacturing Facility • Scott Area Recycling Center

The Commission has also developed a public education program and facilitated development of Keep Scott County Beautiful.

This guide is designed to assist you in finding solid waste information specific to your community. We hope that you will keep it and reference it throughout the year. Remember, if we all pitch in, it works.

Cart Placement is Key! Where and how you place your cart is key to our success. If your cart is obstructed by a vehicle or other object, our driver has to get out of the truck to move the cart in order to empty it. This costs time and money. The truck’s mechanical arm needs unobstructed access to “reach out” to your cart. So please, remember these three rules:

Cart Safety: Please read the weight limits on the lid of your garbage cart. Do not overload your cart. Please do not put heavy rocks, sod or concrete in your cart. If you find the cart too difficult to move, please get help to move it. If your cart is too large for you to handle, smaller carts are available.

Missed Collection? If you have questions regarding a missed collection, please call 344-4088.

The City Encourages Recycling! Cardboard boxes need to be recycled. Please flatten, tie or tape them together and set them on the ground next to your recycling cart on your regular recycling day. Each bundle of cardboard shall be no more than 50 pounds and 36 inches any direction.

Stolen or Damaged Carts: If you suspect your cart has been stolen, you must file a report with the Police Department at 344-4015 in order to receive a new cart. The cart and its contents are the property of the City of Bettendorf. It is against the law to remove them. If your cart is damaged, call 344-4088.

How To Use The Carts:

Garbage must be in the cart with the lid completely closed. For health, sanitary and litter control reasons, bag all garbage before putting it into the cart.

Eliminate overflow - make sure you have the right size cart to meet your needs; you’ll save money in the long run.

Set your cart out by 7 a.m. on your collection day to prevent missed pick-ups.

Stolen or lost cart - call Public Works at 3�6-773�. The cart is the property of the City of Davenport and each one has a serial number to identify it.

Garbage that does not fit inside the cart requires a sticker. You may place a bag with a sticker on top of your cart and the robotic arm will pick it up. If you have more than one bag, set them at least 4 feet away from the cart so that the robotic arm has room to grab the cart.

Weight and size of any individual garbage bag cannot exceed 50 pounds and 33 gallons. Weight of a garbage cart cannot exceed the maximum weight limit imprinted on its lid. Leave at least 4 feet of clearance around your cart – do not set directly next to your recycling bins, vehicle, telephone pole or mailbox.

Arrows on the lid should point toward the street or alley.

Find a trouble-free location for the cart, preferably on a level surface at the street or alley line. Do not place on top of a snowdrift.

Fee: There is no additional fee for recycling in Davenport. It is included in your city solid waste fee. How to Use the Bins: • Prepare your recyclables by rinsing containers and throwing away lids. • Place your paper products in one bin and containers in the other. They must

be kept separate. • If you use just one bin, place your paper products inside a paper bag and set

them inside the bin with the containers. • Cardboard boxes must be flattened and no more than 30 inches by 30 inches

to fit through the truck doors. Cardboard may be laid under your recycling bin to secure it.

• Handicapped-style recycling bins with small wheels are available by request. Call 3�6-773� for more information.

• Lids for your recycling bins can be purchased at the Davenport Public Works Center.

How to Place the Bins: • Set your bins out by 7 a.m. on your collection day to prevent missed pick-ups. • Place bins at your normal collection point, directly next to the curb or alley. • Keep the bins at least 4 feet away from garbage carts, mailboxes, utility

poles and other obstructions. • Please keep garbage, recycling and bulky waste clearly separated. • If you have only cardboard to recycle, set out your recycling bin too. This

will help the crews see that you have recyclables and it can prevent missed pick-ups.

• Theft: The recycling bins and the recyclable materials inside the bins are the property of the City of Davenport. It is a violation of the law to remove anything from the bins.

Acceptable in the Recycling Program: See the Scott Area Recycling Center on page 13 for a complete list of items accepted by all cities’ recycling programs in Scott County. Note that corrugated cardboard must be flattened and no more than 30 x 30 inches to fit in our trucks.

35

Any materials not accepted in this program will be left in your recycling bins along with a Friendly Reminder card.

Bins Too Full? • Flatten all cans and containers before placing them in the bins. • Flatten your cardboard and put it next to or under your bins. • Take your excess materials to the Scott Area Recycling Center,

5640 Carey Avenue, Davenport. See page 1�. • If you consistently overfill your recycling bins, the city will deliver

additional bins to you at no charge. Call 3�6-773�.

Unacceptable in the Recycling Program:Materials not outlined in this Guide and recyclables generated from businesses will not be collected through the city’s curbside program. For business recycling, see the Scott Area Recycling Center section.

Moving?Leave your city recycling bins at your old home for the next person. The recycling bins are the property of the City of Davenport and assigned to the house.

Missed Collection?If you have questions regarding a missed collection, please call 3�6-773�.

Yard Waste Collection The city provides weekly collection of yard waste on the same day as garbage, but at a different time. It must be contained in �-ply kraft paper bags with special city (EarthCycle™) stickers attached. Yard waste collection typically ends each year in mid-January and starts again in April. All yard waste collected curbside is taken to the Davenport Compost Facility and recycled.

Fee:Each bag of yard waste must have a $1.60 city sticker on it (price subject to change). There is no charge for bundled brush such as tree trimmings, branches, or Christmas trees. The city offers weeks in the spring and fall when no stickers are required on yard waste bags. These are generally the first two weeks of April, the last two weeks of October and four weeks in November. The �007 weeks are listed on page 37.

Acceptable for Yard Waste Collection:Yard waste is defined as leaves, grass clippings, garden plants, stalks, flowers, straw, twigs, tree trimmings & brush. Iowa law requires it be collected separately.

Basic Tips for Yard Waste Collection:• All yard waste must be contained in �-ply kraft paper bags. No plastic bags

or garbage cans.• City yard waste (EarthCycle ™) stickers are required on all bags and can be

purchased at local grocery and hardware stores. Ask for assistance at their customer service counters.

• Brush such as branches, tree trimmings, twigs and bushes are accepted. It must be bundled with a sturdy twine. No tape, wire or plastic.

• Brush must not exceed 5 feet in length and bundles must not weigh more than 50 pounds.

• Christmas trees without plastic bags or metal stands are collected. Wreaths and garland must be bagged as garbage.

• Set yard waste out by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day to prevent missed pickups.• Stumps & tree limbs larger than 6 inches in diameter must be taken to the

Compost Facility.

Alternatives to Yard Waste Collection: Grass clippings and leaves can be left on the lawn, used as mulch or home composted.

Severe Storm Cleanup: Tree branches that fall down as a result of a storm are to be bundled and collected in the same way as normal yard waste collection. City crews will clear public sidewalks, streets and alleys. Residents with large fallen trees on private property must contact a private tree removal company. Residents can also haul their own branches, stumps and yard waste to the Davenport Compost Facility. Stumps and tree limbs larger than 6 inches in diameter are not eligible for city collection as they can damage the trucks. However, they are accepted at the Davenport Compost Facility.

STORMWATER PROGRAMS IN SCOTT COUNTYWhat is stormwater runoff? Stormwater runoff is the water that flows off roofs, driveways, parking lots, streets and other hard surfaces during rainstorms and snow melt. Rather than being absorbed into the ground, it pours into ditches, culverts, catch basins and storm drains eventually entering the community’s waterways, streams, ponds and the river.

Why do we need programs to prevent pollution runoff? • To maintain the quality of our drinking water supplies and natural waterways

for recreational activities such as wading, swimming, fishing, water skiing, etc. • To prevent oil, salt, litter, soil, fertilizers and pesticides from polluting our

waterways. • To minimize damages that may occur when stormwater runoff exceeds the

capacity of the pipes and open channels used to carry stormwater to our rivers and streams.

• To meet the Federal Clean Water Act that requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit for all municipal stormwater discharges.

What are the benefits to me? Everyone benefits from clean water programs. Direct benefits may include complying with Federal and State mandates, protecting your property from upstream runoff, protecting property downstream from your runoff, allowing for future development, providing safe roadways, educating our children about pollution and improving water quality.

What can I do to help? Water quality is everyone’s responsibility. Water is a precious resource. Spotting and reporting pollution, preventing pollution by recycling and properly disposing of household chemicals are simple things everyone of all ages can do to protect our stormwater and our community.
