Title
Bulky Yard Waste Handling Systems
Resolved, that the Department of Public Works is approved to establish a bulky waste handling system to provide Solid Waste System customers means of disposing of large items of non-regulated wastes, and excess volumes of household wastes that can’t be fit into solid waste cart(s). This system shall provide pick-ups of bulky wastes to individual residential customers through a “call in” system requiring the property owner to call the DPW Field Office at (262) 636-9126 to schedule a pick-up. Each residential unit, as determined by the City Assessor, will be allowed four “no charge” bulky waste collections annually. If a residential unit uses more than four bulky waste pickups, the property owner will be charged a $50 fee per 5-Yard Truck collection. Residential customers shall also have the option of disposing of non-regulated household bulky wastes, at no charge, at three drop-off sites. Proof of residency shall be required when items are dropped off at these sites. The three drop-off sites shall be available as follows:
1. Pearl Street Facility (830 Racine Street) - Main Site - open Tuesday through Saturday, except holidays and Saturdays following a holiday, 52 weeks per year, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
2. Yout Street and Edgewood Avenue (1936 Edgewood Avenue) - open Mondays and Wednesdays, except holidays, April through November, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
3. 19th Street and West Boulevard (1955 Grove Avenue) - open Tuesdays and Thursdays, except holidays, April through November, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
