(641) 257-6207Floyd Solid Waste Collection in Charles City is the local place for handling general trash and common clean-up material, used by homeowners and farmers alike. It’s the kind of facility that sees more traffic during planting and harvest seasons and often accepts a mix of residential and agricultural items.
The site looks like a working yard with big containers and piles rather than a tidy storefront; expect drive-up lanes where pickups and trailers can pull alongside bins. Recycling and yard material are often set apart from general trash, usually off to one side, so look for separate containers. There’s typically an entrance point where vehicles stop briefly before moving in, and lines can form on weekends and during spring clean-up. Bring items already sorted as much as possible so unloading goes faster.
