Starting at 6:30 a.m. on Monday August 7, 2023 residents in the downtown moving days area can place trash and recycling collection carts out for daily pickup.

On every weekday starting Monday, August 7 through Thursday, August 17, 2023 Streets Division crews will empty collection carts within the downtown moving days area.

If you are in the downtown moving days area and moving out of your apartment in the days ahead, please use this opportunity to fill and re-fill your collection carts again and again during this daily collection window.

Using carts, and using them correctly and often makes Streets Division collection during the move out faster and safer for everyone. Plus, using the carts appropriately keeps our city looking cleaner, and prevents piles of loose garbage stacked up along the street.

Guidelines for Using the Carts

Drop-off SitesResidents that have more recycling or trash than can fit into the carts can bring the excess to a Streets Division drop-off site.

Residents can bring one load a day of refuse, recycling, large items, or the other items accepted at the drop-off site.

The single load cannot be larger than what would fit into a standard pick-up truck bed or small single-axle trailer. Loads larger than those guidelines will be denied access.

Learn the locations, hours, and restrictions of the drop-off sites at www.cityofmadison.com/DropOffSites.
