DAVENPORT, Iowa — Garbage, recycling, bulky waste and yard waste collection scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 11, through Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, will be delayed by one day in Davenport because of Veterans Day.
The holiday will also close City Hall, all three Davenport Public Library branches and several municipal offices. Monday and Tuesday waste collection will remain on schedule, and residents with Friday pickup will receive service on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Trash and recycling collection will shift from Nov. 11 through Nov. 14
The City of Davenport’s Veterans Day schedule establishes the following collection dates:
| Regular collection day | Adjusted collection date |
|---|---|
| Monday, Nov. 9 | Monday, Nov. 9 — no change |
| Tuesday, Nov. 10 | Tuesday, Nov. 10 — no change |
| Wednesday, Nov. 11 | Thursday, Nov. 12 |
| Thursday, Nov. 12 | Friday, Nov. 13 |
| Friday, Nov. 13 | Saturday, Nov. 14 |
The one-day delay applies to scheduled garbage, recycling, bulky waste and yard waste services. Recycling and bulky waste pickups follow assigned collection weeks, so the holiday does not add an extra pickup for households without service scheduled that week.
Collection materials must be ready by 7 a.m. on the adjusted pickup day. Davenport’s Solid Waste calendar and ReCollect tools provide collection dates by address, reminders and route information.
Public Works handles questions about garbage and recycling at 563-326-7923.
CitiBus will maintain regular service on Veterans Day
Davenport CitiBus will operate normally on Wednesday, Nov. 11, despite the closure of City Hall and other municipal offices.
Regular weekday fixed-route service operates from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., although individual routes have different departure times. Veterans Day is not among the holidays when CitiBus suspends operations.
The transit system maintains its operating hours and holiday schedule for fixed-route service.
The River’s Edge recreational facility will also remain open during its normal business hours on Nov. 11.
City Hall, libraries and municipal offices will close Nov. 11
In addition to City Hall and the Public Works Center, Davenport will close the following facilities and offices for Veterans Day:
- Davenport Public Library: Main, Fairmount and Eastern branches.
- Police Department: front desk and Records Bureau.
- Parks and Recreation: administrative offices.
- RiverCenter: administrative office.
- Adler Theatre: administrative office and box office.
- Davenport Compost Facility: closed for the holiday.
The city’s meeting for Veterans Day week is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.
Vander Veer Conservatory will reopen Nov. 28
The Vander Veer Conservatory will remain closed from Monday, Nov. 9, through Friday, Nov. 27, while staff prepare the annual Poinsettia & Lights Display.
The exhibition opens Saturday, Nov. 28, at 10 a.m. Extended Saturday hours will continue until 7 p.m. through Dec. 19.
The announced closure applies specifically to the conservatory. The city’s holiday notice does not announce a corresponding closure of the entire Vander Veer Botanical Park.
Separately, Davenport’s fall No Sticker Yard Waste Weeks run through Friday, Dec. 4. During this period, eligible yard waste can be collected without purchasing individual yard waste stickers, but bagged material must still be placed in appropriate Kraft paper yard waste bags. The one-day Veterans Day collection delay remains in effect.
