There will be no refuse or recycling collection in the City of Madison on Thursday December 25th or Thursday January 1st because of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.If your material is normally collected on Thursday it will be collected on Friday December 26th and Friday January 2nd.
Residents should be sure to get their material out to the curb on time as Street Division crews will be collecting in both the Thursday and Friday refuse districts on December 26th and January 2nd. Residents should have their material out at the curb by 7 a.m.

Holiday Recycling Tips
Madison residents are reminded that they can recycle gift wrap, gift boxes and non photo greeting cards in their green carts. The only exceptions are tissue paper and foil gift wrap.
“Residents should be sure to remove ribbons and bows before recycling their gift wrap,” Madison recycling coordinator George Dreckmann said.
Holiday lights can be recycled at our drop off sites at 1501 W. Badger Rd and 4602 Sycamore Av. The sites are now open winter hours M-F from 7:30 until 3 p.m.
