The Village of Mukwonago
contracts with

six times during the year.
Who do I contact if my garbage,
recycling or yard waste was not picked up?
You must contact

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.
