🌷 It’s time for spring cleaning and the City of Milwaukee’s PROJECT CLEAN & GREEN is back to help.

It’s time for spring cleaning and the City of Milwaukee’s PROJECT CLEAN & GREEN is here to help.

City collection crews are targeting the East Side May 23-27, 2022, and will collect up to six (6) cubic yards per property of unwanted furniture, mattresses or household items, and garden/yard debris in paper yard waste bags.

Here is what you do

On YOUR REGULAR GARBAGE COLLECTION DAY, during the week of May 23-27, place your unwanted items at your regular garbage collection point – either the curb or alley line. In most cases, everything will be picked up on your garbage collection day, but please allow through the following business day for all items to be collected.

You must use brown paper yard waste bags available at area stores for garden/yard waste.

For curb pick-up, please ensure all items are kept out of the street and placed along the area between the sidewalk and curb, on the lawn edge if there is no sidewalk, or at the end of the driveway. For alley collection, place items at the alley line.

Look up your garbage and recycling collection schedule here.

There are items the Department of Public Works will not pick up. Learn more at https://city.milwaukee.gov/sanitation/Clean-Communities/ProjectCleanAndGreen

This program is only available for 1-4 dwelling unit residences serviced by the City of Milwaukee.
