The City of Coralville is offering Earth-friendly events throughout the month of May. There are opportunities to repurpose, upcycle, or discard your unwanted items throughout the month.

Sell

First up is the city-wide garage sale on May 1, 2021. Taking place from 8:00 AM to Noon, you can stop by the Recreation Department to pick up a map of the participating garage sales throughout the city of Coralville. First-come-first-served doughnuts and juice are available to bright-and-eaerly attendees.

Discard

Clean up your yard, clear out the garage, and empty the attic. On May 7 & 10, the city has free extra trash collection. Yes, free! You’ll have one additional free trash cart collection, so place trans and smaller items in your trash cart on the designated day. If your collection usually takes place on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday your extra collection day will be Friday, May 7. For households with collections days on Thursday, the extra day will be Monday, May 10.
