Holiday Trash/Recycling Collection

media release: In observance of the New Year’s Day holiday, the Streets Division will not be performing trash, recycling, large item, or other solid waste collections on Monday, January 2, 2023. Streets Division offices and drop-off sites will also be closed on this date.

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 3, 2023. 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 3. 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 3, 2023 for residents who submitted work orders to set out items on Sunday, January 1, 2023. As a reminder, all large item collections must be scheduled in advance by submitted a work order. You should set the items out on the date you selected in the work order – not earlier. Crews do not provide early pickup. Create your large item work order at www.cityofmadison.com/LargeItemWorkOrder.

The city of Madison drop-off sites will be closed on Monday, January 2, 2023 in observance of New Year’s Day holiday. The sites will reopen for their normal winter operating hours on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Check the Streets Division’s website to verify the locations and hours before loading up a vehicle to bring material to a site. The drop-off site webpage is www.cityofmadison.com/DropOffSites.

Collection Calendar Error

An earlier version of the trash and recycling calendar for 2023 displayed Monday, January 2 as a collection day. This is wrong. The error was fixed, a new version was published, and a press release was sent out notifying residents of the update. You can get the corrected version of the collection schedule calendar at www.cityofmadison.com/CollectionSchedule.
