Tell Metro Transit what you think about its service. What would you like to see? What should be improved? What destinations should Metro be serving better? Metro Transit staff are working on a complete network redesign to create a new system of bus routes that better serves the needs of Madison area residents and businesses.

The network redesign process will reconfigure all of Madison's bus routes to make them run faster, more frequently, and overall make them easier to use. Before the onset of Covid-19, Metro's service was mainly oriented towards peak hour routes without limited service during middays, evenings and weekends. The redesign will better allocate service so that it benefits more residents during more parts of the day and week. The redesign will also incorporate bus routes into the future Bus Rapid Transit System that is expected to be implemented in 2024.

Please fill out the Transit Choices Survey to help Metro better understand your goals and priorities for the future redesigned transit network.

The Streets Division's springtime yard waste collection will begin the week of April 5.

Learn when to set out your yard waste for pickup by visiting the Streets Division website, www.cityofmadison.com/yardwaste.

Once on the page, enter your address into the form to learn the set-out dates for your home.

By placing yard waste out for pickup on the dates on the website, you will not miss your collection opportunities.

How many collection opportunities will there be?
Madison residents get two curbside collection opportunities for yard waste in the spring.

After the second collection, curbside collection will stop.

There is no curbside yard waste pickup during the summer months.

Curbside yard waste pickup will return in the fall. The start of the fall leaf collection season will be announced at a later time.

How do you set out yard waste for collection?
Place the leaves and yard waste at the street edge or on the terrace. Do not place it into the street.

Keep the material at least four feet from obstructions where possible. Obstructions like street signs, utility poles, mailboxes, trees, and parked cars interfere with collection crews.

If you choose to bag your yard waste, please choose compostable paper leaf and lawn bags, and keep them open so crews can see what is inside.

If you choose to use other bags, that is acceptable. You will also need to keep them open, but keep in mind that crews may need to rip or slice open these bags to get the yard waste out, and they will need to leave the split bags behind at the curb.

Why are all the set-out dates on the website Sunday?
During the regular work week following the set-out date, crews will be circling through neighborhoods that have that set-out date.

By placing the yard waste out on the date given on the website, your material will be out on time and will only sit on the terrace for one week at most. 

If you wait until later in the week, you may miss your collection opportunity.

Drop-off Site Information
The Streets Division drop-off sites will also accept yard waste.
