Join us for The Central Iowa Yoga Retreat on April 5th, 2025!

We’re deep into planning the retreat for 2025. We’ll be at Raccoon River Nature Lodge again, but there will be changes, as always.

Please let us know if you have ideas, or if you’d like to teach a session. It’ll be a day of movement, community, and celebration of the Des Moines yoga community!

Spring Curbside Pickup Guidelines

• All items need to be on the curb at 6:00 a.m.
• Excessive quantities will not be picked up.
• No construction materials or railroad ties. Items not accepted in the collection include appliances, yard waste, tires, electronic waste, hazardous waste, railroad ties, construction materials, drywall, broken glass and concrete. 
• Items that are bulky and difficult to handle, such as swing sets, must be cut up or dismantled into smaller pieces no longer than four feet.
• The total amount of debris on your curb MUST fit into the size of a flatbed truck, roughly 8 ft x 5.5 ft x 3 ft. Extra debris will not be collected.
