Milwaukee, WI

Trash pickup schedule

There is no single day. Milwaukee collection days follow the collection route, not the neighborhood, and two houses on the same street can differ when a route boundary runs between them. Your house number decides it.

Just the street address. We add Milwaukee for you, and we do not store it.

About collection in Milwaukee

Milwaukee collection schedule

Milwaukee collects trash every week.

Holiday schedule changes

There is no collection on the holiday and none to make up for it. Your next collection is the following one on your normal day, and the rest of that week is unaffected. Milwaukee observes 11 collection-affecting holidays, which is not the same list as the federal calendar. A holiday landing on a weekend is observed on the nearest weekday, so it still moves that week. Checked against the city's own published schedule on September 5, 2026. Milwaukee skips a collection that falls on a holiday rather than moving it, so the next one is a week later and the rest of that week is unaffected. We checked that against the city's own schedule service for Labor Day; the other holidays are the city's published list, which is what its offices close for and may not be exactly what its trucks stop for.
