According to the Iowa City Landfill and Recyling Center, starting on July 1, residents who put out compostable materials for curbside collection will be required to use a City-issued organics cart (25-gallons or 95-gallons, yellow lid), paper yard waste bags (for yard waste only), and\/or bundles for collection.<\/p>\n

The city began distributing the organics carts in 2018. The yellow-lidded carts come in two sizes: 25 gallons, which can hold up to 50 pounds of compostable material, or 95 gallons, which can hold up to 250 pounds. The 95-gallon cart has approximately the same size footprint as the city\u2019s current 65-gallon trash cart.<\/p>\n

The organic material collected in curbside collection programs \u2014 including food and yard waste, as well as pizza boxes and uncoated paper plates (but not cigarette butts or pet waste) \u2014 is taken to the commercial composting facility at the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center. \u201cWe can take items that are a little bit harder to break down and don\u2019t go into most backyard compost piles, like meat bones and egg shells, because we get our compost pile to a high enough temperature that everything like that breaks down just fine,\u201d Iowa City Recycling Coordinator Jane Wilch told Little Village<\/em> when the carts first started rolling out. \u201cFrom start to finish, it\u2019s about a year from when the product comes into the Iowa City Landfill to the final black soil compost is ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
