Farmington Welcomes You!

Consider yourself officially welcomed! After touring this site, you’ll discover that our small Iowa town has a rich history but is also a progressive community with a promising future.

Visitors to Farmington, and Van Buren County, are struck by the unique beauty of the area and the atmosphere of being set apart from the rush of the every day world. Farmington is nestled in a peaceful valley at the southern edge of Van Buren County. The Des Moines River borders one side of the town, while the rolling hills and steep ridges of Shimek Forest encircle the other sides.

Of course, if you are already one of our lucky residents you know much of what we had hoped to tell you. But we hope this site will be a valuable addition to local residents and visitors alike.

ATTENTION FARMINGTON RESIDENTS!!!
The City of Farmington will be changing our garbage and recycling service company the end of this month. The last pick up of garage/recycling by Sedore Sanitation will be Monday, February 25th, at this time all trash containers will be picked up. It is very important to have your container placed on the curb on this date to make a smooth transition to our new provider. On Wednesday, February 27th residents will have their new trash and recycle containers delivered to your residence. In the recycling bin you will find a card explaining the recycling policy. Wemiga Waste will be picking up trash/recycling every Tuesday, starting March 5th, with the exception of the following holidays that may land on Tuesday, New Years Day, 4th of July, and Christmas Day. These holidays will be collected the day after. If a resident has a trash bulk item they must pay the $10 bulk item tag or $15 TV tag at City Hall prior to placing these items out for pick up on Tuesdays. Note: Appliances may be put out FREE during the once annual Fall Metal Clean-up day, the date will be announced at a later date. If you have any questions please contact city hall (319)878-3711 during regular business hours. Please share this post to help the city get this information to all of our residents.
