Yard Waste Sites

Yard Waste Sites will be open regular hours the entire Memorial Day weekend.

 

The Streets Division has three yard waste drop-off sites for the use of City of Madison residents ONLY. All three yard waste drop-off sites accept the following:

  • Leaves,
  • Grass clippings,
  • Garden debris,
  • Flowers and other plant waste. The sites will also accept
  • Shrub trimmings shorter that 18”. Tree and shrub trimmings longer than 18” are considered brush. Brush is accepted at the 1501 W. Badger Rd. and 4602 Sycamore Ave. sites only. Do not bring brush to 402 South Point Rd.

The Yard Waste Sites will only accept small amounts of sod (4 or 5 five gallon pails per day).  Larger amounts of sod must be taken directly to the Dane County Compost Sites.  For details on these locations see the link at the bottom of this page.
