Yard Waste
- Yard waste was banned from Iowa landfills by the State Legislature
in 1989. This means grass clippings, leaves, and other yard debris
cannot be thrown in the garbage. Residents of Altoona, Bondurant,
Carlisle, Clive, Des Moines, Grimes, Johnston, Norwalk, Pleasant
Hill, Urbandale, West Des Moines and Windsor Heights can use the
Compost It! program to dispose of
their yard waste. Residents of Central Iowa can also take their
yard waste to the MPE Landfill.
