Recycling Opportunities

Beyond the City of Milwaukee's curbside recycling program, various opportunities exist for recycling more materials, more often.

  • City of Milwaukee Self-Help Centers and Safe Disposal Centers
    If you are a City of Milwaukee resident, you may recycle or safely dispose of a long list of materials at one of the City's two Self- Help Centers.
  • Private Recycling Locations
    Some private facilities offer the public the opportunity to drop-off recyclables.
  • Donate Items for Reuse
    Whether you are moving, dealing with the aftermath of a rummage sale, or simply have a few items that you would like to donate, this flyer provides a list of organizations that accept furniture, clothing, and other household goods.
