Streets & Urban Forestry

Mission Statement for Streets & Urban Forestry

Provide a clean, safe, welcoming atmosphere for City of Madison residents, businesses, and guests by providing high quality, cost-effective, and essential public works services. 

What We Do for the City of Madison

We collect the trash, recycling, and large items from single-family homes up to 8 unit multi-family buildings.

We plow the snow, collect the leaves, pick up the brush, fill potholes, clean graffiti from public spaces, mow grassy medians, and perform other work as necessary.

For Urban Forestry we plant, prune, respond to storms, and overall care for the 100,000-plus trees that line City of Madison roadways.
