City collection Furniture is the first example the city gives for bulky waste, so a couch, sofa, chair, table or desk that will not fit in the cart goes out on the curbside bulky route. There is no published per-item charge because bulky waste is part of the monthly Solid Waste fee. No charge. Included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for single-family through three-plex households with city collection, with no published per-item charge for bulky furniture.
City collection A mattress or box spring will not fit in the garbage cart, so it is bulky waste and goes out on the curbside bulky route every other week. Households that would rather haul the bedding themselves pay the landfill's per-unit charge instead. No charge. Curbside bulky collection of mattresses and box springs is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection. Dropping the same items at the Scott Area Landfill is a separate per-unit charge set by the Waste Commission.
City collection Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste examples, so a washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher goes out on the curbside bulky route. A unit that holds refrigerant needs a call first, because the county charges a separate per-unit fee for refrigerant appliances and requires refrigerators and freezers to be emptied. No charge. Curbside bulky collection of appliances is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection. Confirm a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier with Public Works at 563.326.7923 before set-out, and note that the county landfill charges a separate per-unit fee for refrigerant appliances.
City collection Davenport runs curbside garbage collection for every single-family through three-plex home inside the city limits, and the household chooses the cart size that sets the bill. Garbage goes in the city cart, and the volume-based fee rewards households that recycle more and throw away less. Collection is billed monthly as part of the Solid Waste fee with the water account, and the amount depends on the garbage cart size the household chooses: 35, 65 or 95 gallons. The published schedule runs through June 30, 2025 with a three percent annual increase, so check the current bill or call 563.326.7923 for the exact amount.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Davenport runs curbside collection for single-family through three-plex homes inside the city limits, and one monthly Solid Waste fee covers garbage, recycling, bulky waste and bundled brush. Bulky waste is the route for anything too heavy or too large for the cart, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, large televisions and tires, and it runs every other week on the recycling day. Extra garbage uses a sticker or a special call for service, while small electronics, batteries and household hazardous material go to the Waste Commission of Scott County's facilities on Carey Avenue. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Davenport.

Collection is billed monthly as part of the Solid Waste fee with the water account, and the amount depends on the garbage cart size the household chooses: 35, 65 or 95 gallons. The published schedule runs through June 30, 2025 with a three percent annual increase, so check the current bill or call 563.326.7923 for the exact amount.
When & how
Garbage is collected every week on the household's route day. The city prints a recycling and bulky waste calendar in the fourth quarter newsletter and utility bill, publishes a north and south route map, and offers an address-based schedule and reminders through the free ReCollect app.
Get it ready
Put the cart out on your route day with the lid closed, and leave the cart at the address it is assigned to, because each cart carries a serial number tied to a home. Extra garbage outside the cart needs a sticker, and yard waste, recyclables and bulky items do not belong in the garbage cart.
Every household with garbage collection is issued a 95-gallon single-stream recycling cart at no additional fee, and an extra recycling cart can be added for free. Material is collected every other week on the same day as bulky waste and goes to the Scott Area Recycling Center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The 95-gallon single-stream recycling cart and its collection are provided at no additional fee to households that have city garbage collection, and an additional recycling cart can be requested at no fee.
When & how
Recycling runs every other week on the household's recycling and bulky waste collection day, and the route calendar is printed by north or south route and available by address in the ReCollect app.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables loose in the cart and follow the label on the lid for what is accepted. Batteries, styrofoam, plastic bags and propane tanks are problem items: batteries go to the Electronics Recovery Center at 5650 Carey Avenue, propane goes to the household hazardous material facility at 5640 Carey Avenue, and styrofoam and plastic bags belong in the garbage.
Bulky waste is anything too heavy for one person to lift or too large for the garbage cart, and the city names furniture, appliances and tires as examples. It is collected at the curb every other week on the recycling day, and the cost sits inside the monthly Solid Waste fee rather than a per-item charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside bulky waste collection is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for single-family through three-plex households inside the city limits, with no published per-item charge.
When & how
Bulky waste is offered every other week on the household's recycling collection day. Confirm the route and the date with the printed calendar, the north or south route map, or the address lookup, and call 563.326.7923 with questions during weekday business hours.
Get it ready
Set bulky items at the curb outside the garbage cart and keep the cart itself clear so the collection arm can reach it. Items the city does not take through bulky waste may be accepted by the Waste Commission of Scott County at its facilities.
Furniture is the first example the city gives for bulky waste, so a couch, sofa, chair, table or desk that will not fit in the cart goes out on the curbside bulky route. There is no published per-item charge because bulky waste is part of the monthly Solid Waste fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for single-family through three-plex households with city collection, with no published per-item charge for bulky furniture.
When & how
Furniture goes out every other week on the household's recycling and bulky waste collection day.
Get it ready
Place the piece at the curb outside the garbage cart, keep the cart clear so the collection arm can reach it, and keep the set-out to household furniture from your own address.
A mattress or box spring will not fit in the garbage cart, so it is bulky waste and goes out on the curbside bulky route every other week. Households that would rather haul the bedding themselves pay the landfill's per-unit charge instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside bulky collection of mattresses and box springs is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection. Dropping the same items at the Scott Area Landfill is a separate per-unit charge set by the Waste Commission.
When & how
Put the mattress out on the household's bulky waste day, which is the recycling collection day every other week.
Get it ready
Set the mattress and box spring at the curb outside the garbage cart and keep the cart clear. At the Scott Area Landfill the bedding is charged per unit, and no vehicle is allowed through the gate after the listed closing time.
Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste examples, so a washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher goes out on the curbside bulky route. A unit that holds refrigerant needs a call first, because the county charges a separate per-unit fee for refrigerant appliances and requires refrigerators and freezers to be emptied.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside bulky collection of appliances is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection. Confirm a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier with Public Works at 563.326.7923 before set-out, and note that the county landfill charges a separate per-unit fee for refrigerant appliances.
When & how
Appliances go out with bulky waste every other week on the recycling collection day. Call Public Works at 563.326.7923 before setting out a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the appliance, secure or remove the doors, and set it at the curb outside the garbage cart with the cart left clear. Confirm a refrigerant unit with Public Works first, since those units carry separate handling at the county landfill.
The city collects large bulky electronic items such as a television at the curb and delivers them to the county's Electronics Recovery Center. The television has to sit outside the garbage cart, and smaller electronics do not qualify for the curbside route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside collection of a large bulky television is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection, and the Electronics Recovery Center takes electronic waste free from Scott and Rock Island County residents.
When & how
A large television goes out with bulky waste every other week on the recycling collection day. Smaller electronics have to be carried to the Electronics Recovery Center at 5650 Carey Avenue.
Get it ready
Put the television at the curb outside the garbage cart on the bulky waste day, and take small electronics, batteries and devices with a screen or circuit board straight to the recovery center instead.
Small electronics are not part of the curbside bulky route. They go to the Waste Commission of Scott County's Electronics Recovery Center at 5650 Carey Avenue, which takes computers, screens, phones, printers, stereos, batteries and any digital device with a screen or circuit board, free for Scott and Rock Island County residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronic waste is free for Scott and Rock Island County residents with no appointment, while residents of other counties and businesses pay fees set by the Waste Commission.
When & how
The Electronics Recovery Center is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the first Saturday of the month, closed holidays, and residents do not need an appointment.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and drives first. Batteries are a problem item for the recycling cart, so bag rechargeable and lithium batteries individually or tape the terminals before the trip, and check with the manufacturer for a battery rated 300 watt-hours or more, which the center cannot accept.
The city does not collect construction waste that cannot fit inside the garbage cart, and material left outside the cart is not picked up. Businesses get no city collection at all, so a project arranges its own hauler or uses the Scott Area Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
City crews do not collect construction waste that will not fit in the garbage cart. A project uses a private hauler or the Scott Area Landfill, where construction and demolition debris and household garbage are charged by weight with a minimum charge for Scott County residents.
When & how
The Scott Area Landfill at 11555 110th Avenue is open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, closed holidays, with every vehicle unloaded and through the gate by closing time.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage cart and off the curb, because anything set outside the cart is left behind. Loads from outside Scott County need prior approval, and payment at the landfill is due at the time of service.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky waste examples, so the route depends on size and weight. A treadmill or weight machine that is too heavy to lift alone or too large for the garbage cart matches the city's bulky definition, and it should be confirmed by phone before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not among the city's published bulky waste examples, so the route depends on whether the machine is too heavy to lift alone or too large for the cart. Curbside bulky waste is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee, so call 563.326.7923 to confirm the item before set-out rather than assuming a separate charge.
When & how
Call Public Works at 563.326.7923 during weekday business hours to confirm the machine, then set it out on the household's bulky waste day.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one set-out outside the garbage cart. Confirm before setting it out, because a machine that is light enough to fit in the cart does not qualify as bulky waste.
Tires are one of the city's named bulky waste examples, so a household can set them out on the curbside bulky route. The county landfill also takes tires by weight, and Scott County residents pay nothing there for up to five car tires a year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside bulky collection of tires is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee for households with city collection. Scott County residents also drop off up to five car tires a year at the Scott Area Landfill without charge, and heavier loads are charged by weight.
When & how
Tires go out with bulky waste every other week on the recycling collection day. The Scott Area Landfill accepts tires 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, closed holidays.
Get it ready
Set tires at the curb outside the garbage cart and keep the cart clear. At the landfill the load is weighed and the gate closes on time, and the no-charge allowance covers up to five car tires a year for a Scott County resident.
Bulky waste is collected every other week on the household's recycling collection day, so the two routes share one calendar. The city prints the calendar in the fourth quarter newsletter and utility bill for the north or south route, and the address-based schedule and reminders are available in the free ReCollect app.
Extra bags beyond the cart need a paid sticker and must sit at least four feet from the cart so the automated arm can reach it, with bags no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds. Bulky items also go outside the cart rather than in it, and the cart itself should close over what is inside.
Construction waste that cannot fit inside the garbage cart is not collected, and material left outside the cart is left behind. Business waste is outside the city service entirely, and batteries, styrofoam, plastic bags and propane tanks are problem items that do not belong in the recycling cart.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Self-hauling in Davenport runs through the Waste Commission of Scott County, which operates the landfill and the recovery centers rather than collecting at the curb. The Scott Area Landfill at 11555 110th Avenue takes household garbage, construction and demolition debris, mattresses, refrigerant appliances and tires at the scale house, with payment due at the time of service and no load accepted after the closing bell.

Will the city take a couch or sofa from the curb?+
Yes. A couch, sofa, chair, table or desk that will not fit in the garbage cart is bulky waste, and the city collects it at the curb every other week on the recycling day with no published per-item charge. Keep the cart clear so the collection arm can reach it.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Davenport?+
Put it out with bulky waste, which is collected at the curb every other week on the recycling day at no separate charge. Taking it to the Scott Area Landfill instead costs a per-unit charge set by the Waste Commission, and payment there is due at the time of service.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a washer, dryer or refrigerator?+
A washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher goes out with bulky waste every other week on the recycling day. Call Public Works at 563.326.7923 first for a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier, because refrigerant units need separate handling and the county landfill charges a per-unit fee for them.Official guidance

Does Davenport charge extra for a bulky pickup?+
No separate per-item charge is published. Bulky waste is included in the monthly Solid Waste fee along with garbage, recycling and bundled brush collection for single-family through three-plex homes.
