Garbage Stickers for Extra Trash
Use a garbage sticker
Purchase a $3 single-use garbage sticker for any additional bag of trash (up to 33 gallons, 40-pound weight limit) that does not fit in the trash cart. Bag stickers can be purchased at:
- Coralville City Hall, 1512 7th St.
- Coralville Hy-Vee, 1914 8th St.

Where to put extra bags of trash
Place the extra trash bag, with a garbage sticker on it, on top of the closed lid of the can.
Only one additional tagged bag, placed on top of the closed lid of the can, will be picked up per week. Tagged bags placed on the ground will not be picked up and require a special appointment.
