📌 How the Pink Sticker System Works

Extra trash bags or small boxes (max 2′×2′×3′, max 40 lbs): require a pink $1 Extra Trash Sticker per bag/box. Place at curb by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day — no scheduling needed.
Large items that don’t fit in the garbage cart (furniture, mattresses, rolled carpet): require a pink $5 Large Item Sticker per item. Call (515) 283-4950 at least 24 hours before your regular pickup day to schedule.
Appliances (fridge, washer, dryer, AC, stove, etc.): cost $35 per appliance = seven (7) pink $5 stickers. Must be scheduled for the next Monday. Call (515) 283-4950.
Place stickered items at curbside by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, with stickers facing toward the street.

🚫 5 Common Mistakes Des Moines Residents Make

Forgetting that recycling is every other week — always check your sticker color (yellow vs. orange) or verify via Show Me My House
Putting plastic bags, Styrofoam, or food-contaminated paper in the blue recycling cart
Putting yard waste in plastic bags — only paper bags, Compost It! bags, or the premium cart are accepted
Not calling ahead for bulk or appliance pickup — pink stickers are required and bulk items must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance
Raking leaves into the street — this is a fineable offense ($50–$100) and clogs storm drains
