Scrap metal and metal items
Special rules applyMetal items go out with a bulky waste pick-up, but the recycling programme refuses scrap aluminium and pots and pans, so the exact item should be confirmed first.
- City cost & eligibility
- The bulky waste rules cover metal piping cut to three foot lengths and the appliance programme covers white goods, while the published recycling list marks scrap aluminium and pots and pans as not recyclable, so call 262-653-4050 and confirm whether the item belongs on a bulky pick-up, with an appliance sticker or elsewhere.
- When & how
- Confirm the item on 262-653-4050, then book it onto a bulky waste pick-up on the regular collection day or book an appliance pick-up with a sticker if it is a white good.
- Get it ready
- Cut metal piping to three foot lengths with the ends safe to handle, keep the metal out of the recycling cart because scrap aluminium and pots and pans are not recyclable in the City programme, and keep cans and metal food containers in the recycling instead.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
Carts out the evening before and back in the next morning
Garbage goes in the brown automated cart in plastic bags with the lid closed and recycling goes loose in the blue cart, and neither belongs outside the cart, because anything set out beside a cart is not collected outside the weeks the department publicises. Carts and recyclables go to the curb no earlier than 6:30 p.m. the evening before the collection day and no later than 6 a.m. on the day, clear of trees, telephone poles and other obstacles and reachable from the street, and empty or tagged carts come back in by 8 a.m. the day after collection. A cart with garbage and recycling mixed together is not collected, recycling runs every other week on the same day as the garbage on route A or route B, and a household that believes it was missed should wait until after 1 p.m. on the collection day before calling 262-653-4050.
City waste and recycling collection page with the cart rules, the bulky waste allowance and preparation rules, the appliance sticker programme, the brush season, the tire tickets and the yard waste bag rulesWhat a bulky pile has to look like
A bulky pick-up is limited to five cubic yards or thirty bags in an area no larger than fifteen feet by three feet by three feet, every bag, can or bundle stays under forty pounds, each item has to fit through a four foot by four foot truck opening and be liftable waist high by two people, and nothing may be left loose. Carpet, padding and rugs are rolled into three foot sections, windows no larger than four feet square have an X taped across both sides, board material is cut to four feet by four feet or smaller, and lumber, PVC and metal piping is cut to three foot lengths with nails pulled or bent over. The pile sits in its own place away from the carts, trees, parked cars, hydrants and poles, in winter cleared of ice and snow, and anything left over comes off the curb by 8 a.m. the day after, with the City's four free pick-ups a year turning into a published charge for each additional one.
City waste and recycling collection page with the cart rules, the bulky waste allowance and preparation rules, the appliance sticker programme, the brush season, the tire tickets and the yard waste bag rulesWhat a bulky pick-up will not take
The City does not collect yard waste or recycling in a bulky pile, hazardous or liquid waste such as paint, tanks of any type such as propane, oxygen or gas unless they are cut in half, pianos or organs, cast iron bath tubs, glass patio doors, camper tops or truck caps, boats, concrete, stone, brick, asphalt and masonry, sand, dirt and clay, or any item that does not meet the preparation rules. A pile with recyclables mixed into it may be tagged and left behind until the recyclables are removed.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Kenosha.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
Where does scrap metal go?
Not in the recycling cart: the City's recycling list marks scrap aluminium and pots and pans as not recyclable, although food cans, soda cans, steel and tin cans are. Metal items belong on a bulky waste pick-up, with metal piping cut to three foot lengths, and a white good such as a washer or stove goes out on a scheduled appliance pick-up with a sticker. Call 262-653-4050 to confirm an unusual item.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Kenosha?
The City of Kenosha Department of Public Works Waste Division does. Garbage and recycling go in City carts with recycling collected every other week on route A or B, bulky waste, appliances, brush, tires and yard waste are separate scheduled services, and the department office is at 625 52nd Street, Room 305, with the main line on 262-653-4050.Official guidance
What does a bulky pick-up cost?
Each household gets four free bulky pick-ups a year, and each additional pick-up is charged at the published rate, paid before the collection is scheduled. A pick-up is limited to five cubic yards or thirty bags and everything has to be contained in bags, cans or bundles under forty pounds that fit through a four foot by four foot truck opening. Call 262-653-4050 at least one business day before the regular collection day to book one.Official guidance
What are the City drop-off sites?
The bulk and recycling drop-off site is at 1001 50th Street, open Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until the dumpsters fill, with bulk and tire tickets bought online and tires limited to four.
