Waukesha, WI trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Monday.

Monday is what one Waukesha address returned on October 26, 2026.

Carts need to be out by 6 a.m. on your pickup day, with the handles and wheels turned away from the street.

The preferred spot is the end of the driveway with at least three feet of clearance on each side and nothing overhead.

Trash goes in the black-lid cart, and recycling in the yellow-lid cart with items loose rather than bagged.

Johns Disposal collects under city contract and skips six major holidays when they fall on a normal collection day.
