Where Is the Dump

Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Wisconsin

Wisconsin dumps are mostly run by counties and towns, and many are open to residents only with a sticker, placard or proof of address. Larger county sites such as Dane, Brown and Outagamie post weights-based rates; smaller town sites run a few set days a week. Hours here come from each operator's own page and change seasonally, so check before you haul.

State rules to know

Yard waste

Yard waste (grass, leaves, garden debris and brush under 6 inches) is banned from landfills; it must go to a compost site or other approved facility. Official rule ↗

Tires

Tires, lead-acid batteries, major appliances, used oil filters and waste oil cannot go in the trash or a landfill in Wisconsin. Official rule ↗

Electronics

Many electronics (TVs, computers, monitors and similar) cannot be thrown away; use E-Cycle Wisconsin collection sites or mail-back programs, which may charge at local sites. Official rule ↗

Tires

It is illegal to dispose of tires in a solid waste landfill under s. 287.07(3), Wis. Stats.; most drop-offs charge a per-tire fee. Official rule ↗

Wisconsin households are not regulated like businesses for hazardous waste, but paint, chemicals, oil and similar items still should not go in the trash. Counties run Clean Sweep or hazardous material days, often by appointment or limited days (see Dane and Brown). Check your county's program for fees and accepted items.
