Garbage/Recycle Collection Schedule [pdf]

 

 

The Village of Mukwonago contracts with John's Disposal Service, Inc. to provide garbage and recycling collection to the residents of the Village.  Garbage and recycle collections are paid for through the Village tax levy.  John's Disposal Service also collects yard waste six times during the year.

Who do I contact if my garbage, recycling or yard waste was not picked up?

You must contact John's Disposal by calling (888) 473-4701.

 

I just built a new home.  How do I receive toters?

The Village sends John's Disposal a list every month of new addresses.  John's Disposal will deliver them within the first two weeks of the month.  If you have not received the garbage and recycling toters within the first two weeks, you may contact John's Disposal by calling (888) 473-4701.

 

My toter is too big/small for me.  How do I receive a different size?

John's Disposal will be happy to provide you with a different size toter that will fit your needs.  Please contact John's Disposal by calling (888) 473-4701.

 

When is the Christmas Tree/Wreath Pickup?

Christmas Trees and wreaths may be disposed of during the large, bulky item pickup, which occurs the first Wednesday of the month, or Thursday if a holiday falls on or precedes the normal collection day.

 

 

GENERAL REFUSE COLLECTION RULES                                                                 

  • You must use the toters provided by John's Disposal Service, Inc.  If you feel the size of the toter is wrong for your needs, please contact John's to have it exchanged with a different size.

  • All toters must be at least four feet from any other object.  The collection is a streamline collection where an arm is extended from the truck that picks up the toter.  Room is needed for the arm to maneuver. 

  • Toters must be out by the curb no later than 6:00 am on the day of collection.

  • On regular trash collection days, only what can fit inside the toter with the lid completely closed will be collected.  Only on the first Wednesday of every month (Thursday on the weeks of Independence Day and Memorial Day) will anything that will not fit be taken.

  • You must recycle.  It is State law.  Also, the Village receives money from the State for recycling, thus limiting money needed through tax collection.

  • Anything that is recyclable can be recycled.
