The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Wisconsin Rapids collects contained household trash and recycling at residences with four living units or fewer. Large household items need private disposal, while yard material uses seasonal collection or permitted compost sites.
Prepared brush has a seasonal curbside route; bagged leaves and grass have announced spring and fall collection weeks. Pass holders can use the compost sites.
City cost & eligibility
Confirm eligibility and any collection terms with Public Works. Compost-site passes are free for City residents; other users have separate eligibility and pass terms.
When & how
Brush runs the last full workweek April through October. Check the announced yard-waste week and whether your address must be registered; set out Sunday night before the week.
Get it ready
Keep brush piles within four feet high, six feet wide and ten feet long, perpendicular to the curb. No curbside stumps or root balls. Put yard waste in paper yard bags.
Cardboard belongs inside the green recycling cart at City-served residences with four living units or fewer.
