Residents of Janesville who are looking to do some late fall yard cleanup or dispose of clean fill have a bit more time to make use of the city's facilities. According to a recent update from the City of Janesville, the City Compost and Clean Fill Facility located at 201 Black Bridge Road will keep its gates open until December 13. This extension provides community members with additional time to drop off leaves, grass clippings, and other compostable materials before winter fully sets in.
The city has also indicated that while the facility traditionally ceases operations during the colder months, there is an option for those who might need to dispose of waste during the closure period. From mid-December through March, when the main facility is not available, special access to the City of Janesville’s Sanitary Landfill can be arranged. Residents should note that this landfill is situated at 525 Black Bridge Road and will continue its regular operating hours.
For individuals planning on utilizing the compost and clean fill services, this extension is a boon, ensuring that yard waste doesn't pile up over the winter. The official announcement made it clear that the facility anticipates reopening in the spring of 2026, with the precise date being dictated by the prevailing weather conditions. Interested parties are encouraged to stay tuned for updates as the season progresses, ensuring they're informed of when services resume, as mentioned in the same news.
Those seeking special access to the landfill during off months are required to visit the City of Janesville’s website, where instructions and regulations are detailed. The announcement from the city's administration, which stressed the necessity for adherence to disposal guidelines, ensures that Janesville continues to maintain its commitment to environmental stewardship while providing essential services to its residents.
