Refuse Collection

Refuse and Recycling Calendar
Refuse and Recycling Map

If you want to know when your collection day is, please click here for our interactive map.

Refuse from single-family and 2-4 family homes is picked up weekly at the curb or alley year-round, except holidays. To ensure refuse is picked up, the City-provided 96-gallon brown cart must be placed at the curb or alley by 7:00 a.m. on your refuse collection day. Do not place any refuse or garbage bags outside of your garbage cart, as it will not be collected.


When is garbage collected?

Refuse carts shall be placed for pickup curbside or in alleys by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of collection, but no sooner than 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to collection, including Saturdays. The refuse containers shall be removed from the driveway or alley within 12 hours after collection.

Refer to the Refuse Map for your weekly trash collection day

During Snow Season

Proper cart placement is very important for garbage and recycling collection during the winter months. Refuse and recycling carts should be placed at the end of your driveway within two feet of the street. Do not place any refuse or recycling carts in the roadway for collection. The same placement is needed in the alleys - carts must be placed within two feet of the alley with three-foot clearance from other objects. The automatic equipment cannot work if a power pole or garage is in the way. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated by the City's contractor.

Appliance Pick-Up

Please call John's Disposal at (262) 473-4700 to arrange for the pick-up of any appliances. Appliance pick up is done on Tuesdays. There is no extra charge unless the appliance contains freon. The cost is $30.00 for the following appliances: refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier, and microwave (recovery process required for microwave because of mercury in the thermostat).
