Waukesha residents can bring accepted trash and yard materials to the City's Drop-Off Center. To use the services, residents must show a driver’s license or photo ID at the entrance as proof of residency. If a resident's ID is not up to date, they will be required to provide additional proof of residency, such as a utility bill or property tax statement, to access the City of Waukesha’s Drop-Off Center, according to the City of Waukesha.
Landlords and residential property owners who do not live in the City of Waukesha must get prior approval to dispose of materials from properties they own within the city. To obtain permission, they must call the City Engineering Office at 1-262-524-3600. After approval, they must bring identification and proof of property ownership to the Drop-Off Center.
The City of Waukesha has expanded its recycling program to include all Waukesha County residents at its Drop-Off Center. Acceptable materials include cardboard, paper, bottles, cans, and cooking oil. The center is available exclusively for residential use and does not accept waste from commercial businesses or contractors. The city clarified that the facility is not a "county dump" and is intended to serve individuals disposing of household materials.
