Wausau, WI trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Thursday.

Thursday is what one Wausau address returned on October 26, 2026.

Carts must be curbside before 5:45 a.m. on pickup day but no earlier than 3 p.m. the afternoon before, and off the curb by 11 a.m. the day after.

Place them at the end of the driveway with the arrows pointed toward the street and at least four feet from each other and from mailboxes, trees, and street lights.

Homes without a driveway should use the grassy boulevard strip, and carts must never be left in the street or on top of a snowbank.

Between collections the carts have to be stored inside a garage or behind the front of the house.
