Wisconsin dump FAQ

How many landfills are in Wisconsin?

Dumpmapper lists 56 landfills in Wisconsin, in 36 of its 72 counties, plus 33 transfer stations, where you can usually drop off trash and bulky loads. The list comes from OpenStreetMap and the US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program database, so it can miss sites, especially private or construction-debris landfills.

Where can I take household hazardous waste in Wisconsin?

We list 6 places in Wisconsin that take household hazardous waste, motor oil or fluorescent bulbs, including Fitchburg Recycling Drop Off (Fitchburg), Self Help Center North (Brown Deer), and Self Help Center South (Milwaukee). Many counties also hold collection days a few times a year instead of running a permanent site, so check with your county's solid waste or public works office too.

Do dumps in Wisconsin charge a fee?

Many do, and each site sets its own prices. Charges often depend on weight, load size or the type of item, and tires, mattresses and appliances commonly cost extra. In our Wisconsin data, 1 listing is tagged in OpenStreetMap as charging a fee and 10 listings as free; the rest don't say. We don't publish prices we can't verify, so ask the site before you go. The dump cost calculator can help you estimate a load.

Can I use a dump in Wisconsin if I'm not a resident?

It depends on the site. Some city- and county-run sites serve residents only or charge non-residents more, while many privately run landfills and transfer stations take anyone who pays. In our data, 10 listings in Wisconsin are tagged in OpenStreetMap as residents-only. Check the site's rules before you go, and bring an ID or a utility bill in case they ask for proof of address.

How do I find the phone number or hours for a dump in Wisconsin?

27 of the 151 listings in Wisconsin have a phone number or website in our sources. We show it on the map popup, the county page and the listing page, and you can tap a phone number to call. For listings without one, use the Find phone & hours link: it opens a web search for the site's name and town. If you find the phone number or hours, send them to us and we'll add them after checking.

Which counties in Wisconsin have the most dump and drop-off listings?

Milwaukee County (12), Outagamie County (11), and Dane County (10) have the most listings. 51 of Wisconsin's 72 counties have at least one listing; the pages for the rest point to the nearest sites in neighboring areas.

Where can I recycle paint and batteries in Wisconsin?

Dumpmapper lists 0 paint drop-offs and 7 battery drop-offs in Wisconsin. Public data on these is thin, so also try the PaintCare site finder (it only covers states with a paint stewardship program) and the Call2Recycle battery locator. Our paint and battery guides cover the basics.
