August Student Move Out Days Are Here
posted
Starting today (August 4, 2025) and lasting until Friday, August 22, 2025, the Streets Division will be performing extra collection duties in the downtown moving days area.
Daily Cart Pickups During the Move Out
From August 4 to August 22, we will be providing extra trash and recycling cart emptying in the move out area.
Extra Large Item Collections During the Move Out
Crews will be providing more large item pickups, too during the move out time in this special move out area.
Follow the Large Item and Cart Usage Rules
The move out generates around one million pounds of trash every year, and Streets Division crews collect most of it by hand.
We need everyone participating in the moving days downtown to follow the set out rules for carts and large item.
Recycle Your Electronics the Right Way and for Free
Remember to recycle your electronics and batteries correctly.
Do not put them in the carts. Do not pile them at the curb.
Take them to a Streets Division drop-off site so they can be recycled safely.
Donate Your Useful Items
Clothes you no longer need, furniture that’s in good condition, artwork that no longer moves the soul – all of it and more can be donated to one of the many local donation options in Madison instead of wasted in the landfill.
The Streets Division’s ReUse webpage has a rundown of just some of the options available to you to donate your items.
