Holiday Trash and Recycling Collection

media release: There will be no trash or recycling collection by the city of Madison Streets Division on Monday, January 15, 2024, in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.  The drop-off sites and Streets Division offices will also be closed.

If your trash and recycling is collected on Mondays by the Streets Division, you should place your scheduled cart(s) to the curb for collection by 6:30am on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. 

Only residents that have a Monday collection day will experience a delay in refuse and recycling pickup services. 

If you have a Tuesday collection of trash and recycling by the Streets Division, you should also place your scheduled cart(s) out for emptying by 6:30am on January 16.

If you set your carts out after 6:30am for their scheduled pickup, you may miss your collection opportunity.  You will need to wait until the next scheduled pickup day to have your carts emptied. 

If you are unsure if the holiday will cause your trash & recycling to be delayed a day, consult your collection schedule. You can download the one for your home today by entering your address into the form at www.cityofmadison.com/CollectionSchedule.

Due to the holiday, large item collection will get underway on Tuesday, January 16 for residents who submitted work orders to set out items on Sunday, January 14, 2024. More information about large item collection and the work order system can be found at www.cityofmadison.com/LargeItem.

The City of Madison drop-off sites will be closed on Monday, January 15, 2024 in observance of the holiday.

The sites will reopen for their normal winter operating hours on Tuesday, January 16.
