Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Des Moines handles yard waste through regular collection. Follow set-out rules.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Des Moines recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Des Moines — Bulk trash is the official Des Moines program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
