How do I get rid of tree limbs?
Once a month from April to October the Charles City Street Department will pick up tree limbs. Put the limbs on the curb next to your garbage on the first week of the month. Each section of town is on a different pick up schedule. In the fall they also do two rounds of leaf pick up. If neither of these options work well for you the Shaw Avenue dump site is available free of charge on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays.

How do I get rid of an old couch
Spring cleanup is held annually in Charles City toward the end of April. The city picks up large items like sofas, desks, used lumber and other unwanted items from homeowners. There are certain regulations on what's permitted and what's excluded.

How do I get rid of old appliances
Appliances are NOT allowed on spring clean up. Call Jendro Sanitation to have them pick up your old appliance. They will charge a fee.

Where do I register my children for school?
If you move to Charles City during the school year a parent and the student should contact/visit the school they will be attending (see Charles City schools here) to register for classes. If your children are of elementary age and you have questions as to which elementary school (Washington or Lincoln) they should attend, you can contact the contact the Central Office (641-257-6500). Regular school registration for Charles City Community Schools is in early August.

Where do I register to vote
Eligible voters can register to vote in Floyd County elections by calling or visiting the Floyd County Auditor's office at the Floyd County Court House.
