Hey Everybody,

I thought this was really important to share with folks. This Sunday May 15th Streets will begin a final yard collection. Please read for other important information. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. district9@cityofmadison.com

Streets will be performing a final yard waste collection.  Yard waste needs to be placed at the curb by Sunday, May 15.

Crews will begin that final sweep through neighborhoods starting the work week following May 15. 

By performing this last chance collection, other work by the Streets Division will be slowed.

Fixing potholes, collection of roadside debris, and doing some hand sweeping and other manual labor around traffic island maintenance will all be slowed down or temporarily halted until the final sweep is complete.

Our brush collection will also be affected as collection for that may slow down some.  We will be able to remain on schedule, but it may just take us an extra day or so to get through the entire collection round than we have been so far this brush collection season.

Once the final sweep is done, we have to stop yard waste collection so we can get back to these duties. (Road repair is of particular importance because we need time to fill potholes before Engineering performs their chip sealing work.)

The drop-off sites remain available for those who miss this last chance pickup.  The drop-off sites are different this year, so please encourage folks to check our website before loading their cars so the know the hours and locations.  Here’s the drop-off site page: www.cityofmadison.com/DropOffSites.
