Spring cleaning is the perfect time to refresh both your home and yard. Inside, it’s all about de-cluttering, deep cleaning, and organizing spaces that have accumulated dust and clutter over the winter months. Outside, it’s a chance to tidy up the garden, trim overgrown plants, and prepare your yard for the warmer months ahead. It’s a great way to start fresh and enjoy a cleaner, more inviting space! Let’s brush up on Madison’s disposal resources and yard waste collection which may help you on your spring cleaning journey.

WORK ORDERS

If you can’t bring your large items to a drop-off site, you must fill out a large item work order, which will not require any recycling fees. Check out the City’s Recyclopedia for more information.

YARD WASTE COLLECTION

Yard waste collection begins the week of April 19. Yard waste is all the leaves, dead plants, and similar debris you rake or pull from your lawns or gardens.
In the spring, the Streets Division provides two curbside collection opportunities for yard waste. You will have one chance in April and another in early May.
The dates when your neighborhood should set out yard waste for pickup can be found at www.cityofmadison.com/YardWaste. Just enter your address into the form and you’ll see both the dates when you should get the yard waste out to the curb this spring.

Let the cleanup begin!
