Refuse pick up and Passenger Rail station Planning

Hello neighbors

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and took time to reflect of all that they are thankful for.

Here are some important information I wanted to share. 

Passenger Rail Station Planning:

This is an exciting time for Madison that brings more opportunities to offer and grow transportation options to the community. Please join a public meeting on December 7 to discuss a potential site for a future Amtrak Station in Madison. Two options will be available:

• In person: 4:30pm, room 215, Madison Municipal Building, 215 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
• Virtual: 6:30pm. Please register in advance.

Refuse collection:

• If your trash and recycling are normally collected on Wednesdays and Thursdays by the Streets Division, you should have your carts to the curb by 6:30am on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
• Check your collection schedule calendar to determine if you should have your recycling cart to the curb along with your trash cart.
• City drop-off sites will be closed on November 24 and November 25, 2022.
• Drop-off Site Hours for Saturday, November 26, 2022:

• Drop-off Site Hours for Sunday, November 27, 2022:
