Waste Management's renewable energy projects create enough energy to power over 1 million homes.

All garbage and recycling must be on the curb before 6:00 a.m. on collection days. If your garbage and recycling is not out by that time, the garbage truck will not come back to pick it up. Special arrangements with the company will need to be made at a possible additional charge.

The Clean Sweep Program provides an opportunity for residents of Dane County to safely dispose of household hazardous materials, free of charge.  The Product Exchange offers high quality and usable products brought into Clean Sweep free of charge.

The Small Business Collection Program accepts materials from small businesses and local untis of government.  These materials are accepted on Thursday mornings by appointment.  Prior arrangements need to be made before bringing materials to the site, and there is a per pound charge for materials brougt to the program.  Business owners are reminded that they need to allow enough time to request registration materials and to submit and inventory of the materials for recycling.  Registration is available on our web site at www.danecountycleansweep.com or by call 608-243-0347 for more information.

Clean Sweep will also accept agriculturally-generated wastes.  A Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection grant underwrites the disposal costs so ther is no cost to farmers, and agricultural businesses only pay half the normal business cost.  All farmers and agricultural-related businesses from Dane County are invited to participate.  Agricultural Clean Sweep Program participation is by appointment only, and events are held every Thursday morning during the Clean Sweep season from May through October at the Fish Hatchery Road site.  Registrations is available on our web site at www.danecountycleansweep.com.
