Disposal of Furniture and/or extra items
We've simplified bulky collection so you can now place items (not larger than the size of two couches) at your collection point on your scheduled collection day. Your regular collection crew is instructed to take your extra items. Bulky waste that is placed at the wrong location (at the curb when there is alley collection) or waste that is not contained will result in referral to the Department of Neighborhood Services. This may result in cleanup orders issued and fines levied against the property. For bulky waste that exceeds the size of two couches or if extra items are not removed on your collection day, call (414) 286-CITY (2489). Bulky waste can also be taken to a City self-help center. Disposal of Brush The City no longer collects brush piles exceeding 4 cubic yards. There is no brush collection in December, January or February. To request collection of smaller brush piles from March through November, you must call (414) 286-CITY (2489). Brush is collected separate from garbage and composted. Composting not only saves the City money, it is environmentally responsible. Brush can also be taken to a City self-help center. Disposal of Tires City of Milwaukee residents may dispose of up to five tires at a City self-help center. Tires will not be picked up by your regular collection crew. If you find a pile of discarded tires, please call the City of Milwaukee Health Department for pickup (414) 286-3538. Disposal of Appliances The City of Milwaukee no longer picks up appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, hot water heaters. For disposal of these items, please use exchange programs from retail outlets or check the Yellow Pages for a list of appliance collectors. Appliances left in the public right of way may be cited and assessed a fee up to $500. For more information on appliance disposal, you may also call (414) 286-CITY (2489). Disposal of Construction & Demolition Debris City of Milwaukee residents may dispose of up to two cubic yards of construction debris at a City self-help center. Two cubic yards equals 3' X 3' X 6' or the amount of material that fits in the bed of a typical pickup truck. Construction and demolition debris includes concrete, dirt, wood waste and roofing material. Larger amounts of construction debris may be disposed of at the following sites for a fee. Call ahead for disposal rates.
