Project Clean and Green comes to the 11th District beginning April 21

Alderman Peter Burgelis is reminding residents that the annual program providing free bulky item collection for Milwaukee residents is returning to the 11th District starting Monday, April 21. The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works initiative Project Clean & Green will occur in the district from April 21- 25.

By 7 a.m. of your regular garbage collection day, items that you wish to be collected should be placed at your regular garbage collection point. In most cases, everything will be picked up on garbage collection day, but please allow through the following business day for all items to be collected.

“The Clean and Green program continues to be a favorite among residents, and I encourage everyone in the 11th District to take part again this year,” said Alderman Burgelis. “It’s the perfect time to clear out unwanted items and tidy up around the house. Best of all, the Department of Public Works will handle the heavy lifting—and at no cost to you!”

Collection crews will collect up to six cubic yards per property of unwanted furniture, mattresses or household items; they will also collect garden debris that is placed in paper yard waste bags. Please note that Project Clean and Green will not collect appliances, tires, televisions, and other electronics such as computers, printers, and tablets. Hazardous waste such as construction debris, paint, and motor oil will also not be collected. Please make use of Department of Public Works Drop Off Centers to safely dispose of those materials. Residents can call 414-286-CITY or visit https://milwaukee.gov/cleanandgreen to learn more.
