Join the City of Cedar Rapids for a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the City Manager's 1-Bag Challenge! Cedar Rapids' City Manager Jeff Pomeranz challenges every resident to collect at least one bag of litter each year, and in celebration of 10 years of this successful program, we are hosting an end-of-summer litter pick-up event. The event will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 6, from 5-7 p.m. at the McGrath Amphitheatre downtown. Join us to take the City Manager's 1-Bag Challenge and help CleanUpCR!
​
Water, snacks, and giveaway items will be provided. Following brief remarks and a group photo, participants will be encouraged to pick up litter together. Dress for the outdoors and wear comfortable shoes — we'll see you there! Find more details and weather-related updates by clicking on the Facebook event below or visiting www.CleanUpCR.com.

Paving for Progress Update 8-18-22

8/18/2022

 
In the July 6 project update, the City informed us that disturbed areas behind the new curb lines on the Chandler Street loop would be left low to reduce erosions and that temperatures at the time exceeded the recommended limits for sod placement. The City also advised that fall sod placement typically starts mid-to-late August. 

The City's contractors recently shared that they plan to return to the project site to finish grading and place topsoil and sod at the disturbed areas starting mid-September. Additional remaining work includes restoring landscape features at a few driveways and installation of traffic signs. The City will issue another update when they have a firm schedule for the start of remaining work on Chandler Street.

Fall Loose Leaf Collection: October 3 - December 9, 2022

8/15/2022

 
​The Solid Waste & Recycling division URGES RESIDENTS to REMOVE any twigs and sticks from leaf collection piles. 

Sticks larger than 6 inches in length can clog the leaf vacuum equipment and cause serious damage, delaying collection operations. Leaf piles must be free of twigs and branches to be collected by the leaf vacuum trucks. Small brush piles of twigs and sticks can be discarded in your YARDY cart.
Picture
During the weeks leaves are collected in your quadrant, all leaves must be raked to the collection area by either 7 a.m. Mondays or 7 a.m. Wednesdays. If leaves are put out late, we cannot guarantee collection.

Should weather or un-characteristically heavy volumes delay collection, crews will use Fridays and Saturdays to complete the area they were working in before moving on.
​

If you are struggling to identify which day your leaves will be collected, please call the Solid Waste & Recycling Division at 319-286-5897.
