Holiday Refuse/Recycling Collection
to
press release: On Monday, December 31, the Streets Division will perform regularly scheduled refuse and recycling collection. The drop-off site will also be open, but for limited hours.
However, the Streets Division hopes to conclude curbside collection of refuse and recycling by 11 a.m. on December 31. Residents must have their carts to the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday, December 31. If you place the carts to the curb after 7 a.m., you may miss your collection opportunity and then you may need to wait until your next scheduled pickup day to have the carts emptied.
Since additional personnel will be needed for refuse and recycling collections on New Year’s Eve, other curbside collections, like large item pickup, may be temporarily delayed.
The drop-off sites ate 4602 Sycamore Ave and 1501 W. Badger Rd will also close for the day at 11a.m. on New Year's Eve.
New Year’s Day Operations
There will be no refuse, recycling, or large item collection on Tuesday, January 1, 2019 in observance of the New Year’s Day holiday. The drop-off sites will also be closed.
Streets Division Operations – Wednesday, January 2

Only residents within the Tuesday district will have their collection of refuse and recycling delayed due to the holiday.
Refuse and recycling for the Wednesday district will also be collected on January 2.
Since the Streets Division will be collecting refuse and recycling from both the Tuesday and Wednesday collection districts on January 2, residents of these areas must place their carts curbside prior to 7am on that day. Carts set out late may not be collected by our crews until the next scheduled collection day.
Since Streets Division crews will be diverted from their normal tasks in order to collect refuse and recycling from the Tuesday and Wednesday collection districts on January 2. Other services, such as large item collection, may be temporarily delayed.
