City of Milwaukee Kicks off Project Clean & Green on Wednesday, April 16 at 11-30AM

The Department of Public Works (DPW) and Mayor Cavalier Johnson are excited to kick off Project Clean & Green, a citywide initiative designed to promote neighborhood pride and ownership through a coordinated community cleanup program. Join us on Wednesday, April 16 at 11:30AM at 3820 S. Hanson Avenue as we spread the word.

Project Clean & Green will run from April 21 through June 2, with collection crews targeting one zone each week, ensuring that the entire city is covered. Each eligible property can dispose of up to six cubic yards of materials, all at no cost to residents. Residents can place unwanted items like furniture, mattresses, and household items at their regular collection point at the curb or in the alley. Yard waste must be placed in brown paper yard waste bags. Items should be placed out by 7:00AM on the designated collection day for the area. Service is on your regular garbage collection day of the week shown for your zone. Most items will be picked up the same day, though collection may continue into the following business day.

This program is available to residences with 1-4 dwelling units serviced by the City of Milwaukee Sanitation. Apartment complexes of 5 or more units and businesses are not eligible for participation. Items such as appliances, tires, electronics, construction debris, paint, motor oil or other hazard waste are not accepted. Residents are encouraged to use DPW Drop-Off Centers or MMSD household hazardous collection sites to properly dispose of those items. Residents cant visit Milwaukee.gov/cleanandgreen to see their assigned collection day and learn more about the program.
