City of Milwaukee announces New Garbage and Recycling Collections Schedules

April 11, 2014

The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) announces new collection schedules for garbage and recycling effective Monday, April 7, 2014. DPW workers are placing tags on City residents’ carts that include collection schedules and information about Project Clean & Green, bulky and brush collections and recycling.

Residents can go to http://mpw.milwaukee.gov/services/garbage_day for information on a specific address, such as their garbage and recycling collection days and their Project Clean & Green pick-up date.

City residents with curbside collection must roll their garbage and recycling carts to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on their designated collection day. Carts must be returned to storage areas by 10:00 p.m. that day.

Collection days will change after each City holiday and furlough day. There will be no collections made on the following City holidays and furlough days:

• Good Friday: April 18
• Memorial Day & furlough day: May 23 & 26
• Independence Day & furlough day: July 3 & 4
