NEW FOR 2010!   Guaranteed Recycling Schedules Citywide

During the summer of 2010, the Department of Public Works will be collecting recyclables on guaranteed dates for all residents. Most households serviced with carts will receive collection every three weeks. Residents serviced with bins will continue to receive once per week collection.

Guaranteed recycling schedule program:
•  Carts must be rolled to collection points on designated pickup dates
•  Carts picked up more frequently than past once per month program
•  More frequent collection will increase recycling capacity to
   accommodate those extra recyclables that used to pile up between
   pickups
•  Increased recycling means that we are sending less to landfills,
   which saves the City money and helps to lower fees and taxes for
   everyone

How will I know when my collection dates are?
Look for collection schedules which will be placed on your recycling cart in the spring, or visit www.mpw.net/services/garbage_day to look up your next recycling and garbage collection dates.

Thanks for recycling! Together, LET’S MAKE MILWAUKEE CLEAN AND GREEN.
