Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Madison Large Item Work Order covers mattresses free for properties with ≤8 units. Schedule online and choose a Sunday set-out date; collection follows the next work week. Properties with more than 8 units use drop-off sites instead of curbside large-item service.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Dane County Clean Sweep at 7020 Maahic Way accepts household hazardous materials ($15/trip). Used motor oil at Clean Sweep.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including mixed e-waste are NOT allowed in Madison carts or on the curb — $30 administrative fee per improper curb item. Free drop-off for Madison residents (proof required) at East 4602 Sycamore Ave, West 402 South Point Rd, or Central 1504 Quann-Olin Parkway. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Limited homeowner C&D under length/set-out rules may go on Madison Large Item Work Order (≤8 units). Larger contractor loads need a private C&D hauler. Route paint/chemicals to Dane County Clean Sweep separately.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Madison handles yard waste through regular collection. Follow set-out rules on cityofmadison.com.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Madison recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Madison — Large items and appliances is the official Madison program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
