Recycling & Garbage Information
Advanced Disposal (formerly Veolia Environmental Services) is the refuse collection firm for the City of Oconomowoc. Collections are once a week. This service includes up-the -driveway. Furniture or large items will still need to be curb side, however.
Refuse pickup for those residents on the south side of the railroad tracks is on Tuesday; residents on the north side of the tracks will have their refuse picked up on Wednesday.
The national holidays of Christmas, New Years, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July might cause collections to be a day later depending on the day the holiday falls on and the day of your refuse pickup.
-
Tuesday Pickup: If a national holiday falls on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, the refuse will be picked up as normal on Tuesday, but if the national holiday falls on a Monday or Tuesday then the refuse will be picked up a day later.
- Wednesday pickup: If a national holiday falls on Thursday or Friday, the refuse will be picked up as normal on Wednesday, but if the national holiday falls on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday then the refuse will be picked up a day later.
