Streets Division Drop-off Sites Set to Re-Open April 24 with New Restrictions

Sites will have modified hours and limited number of residents allowed in at one time

On April 24, 2020 the Streets Division drop-off sites for Madison residents will re-open with new restrictions and new hours to help keep residents and staff safe. The sites accept excess cardboard, general recyclables, large items, refuse, electronics, cooking oil, yard waste, and brush.

The drop-off sites that are set to open are 1501 W. Badger Rd, 4602 Sycamore Ave, and the yard waste only site at 402 South Point Rd. The Streets Division offices will remain closed to walk-in customers. The brush processing and mulch site at 121 E. Olin Ave. also remains closed to the public.

Only Two Vehicles in Drop-off Area at Single Time
In an effort to help residents maintain social distance from each other and Streets Division staff, only two vehicles will be allowed into the unloading area of the drop-off sites.

Residents visiting the sites should expect to encounter lines and long wait times before being allowed to use the drop-off sites. Hours for the Drop-off Sites have changed - many more details here.
