We've got another MEGA SCRUB event this Saturday at Polk County River Place!

Be sure to show up as close to 7 a.m. as you can to take advantage of the FREE household hazardous waste disposal station—we have a limited capacity to take these materials and space runs out fast!

Residents can also hit the MEGA SCRUB to recycle old electronics, securely shred old documents and drop off large appliances, tires and other bulk items that don't fit in your cart!

We'll also have our regular SCRUB events this Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Bring excess yard waste to our Compost Center at 1601 Harriet Street. For bulk trash, head to the Metro Central Transfer Station at 4198 Delaware Avenue.

SCRUB is FREE with proof of Des Moines residence. Visit our website for SCRUB calendar and helpful guidelines!
