Guide collection updated November 13, 2026 · How we research

Confirm eligibility before comparing price.

Check the community’s hauler guidance and whether a resident-only disposal option fits your load. The city guides also identify material-separation rules, site limits and published price gaps to resolve before booking.

These guides cover the communities listed below. Check your exact delivery address; a mailing address alone may not identify the authority responsible for placement.

2 researched optionsAltoona

Estimate the paid disposal load after setting aside material eligible for the City facility. Then verify access and placement approval, and obtain written quotes for the same remaining debris and dates. A supplier listing or national size catalog cannot settle those address-specific details.

Read the Altoona guide
3 researched optionsBaraboo

In Baraboo, only Bin There Dump That posts prices, and its Baraboo page lists higher figures than its franchise rates page, so confirm which applies. Keep the bin in the driveway if you can: a street placement needs a City special-use permit and is limited to five days. Keep brush and yard waste out of the box.

Read the Baraboo guide
3 researched optionsBeaver Dam

In the City of Beaver Dam, GFL's carts and the twice-yearly bulk pickup will not take building materials or anything a contractor tears out, so a remodel or large cleanout usually calls for a roll-off. Bin There Dump That is the only one of the three suppliers with published prices; get written quotes from the Watertown and Juneau companies, and plan for a City permit if the bin cannot fit on your driveway.

Read the Beaver Dam guide
2 researched optionsChippewa Falls

Start with an approved location and a plan for each material. Street access is weather-dependent here, while the City's yard-waste option is seasonal. Once the load is sorted, compare complete quotes for the same working period and weight allowance.

Read the Chippewa Falls guide
2 researched optionsDelafield

For a City of Delafield cleanout or remodel, a driveway roll-off is the practical route: the City's Johns cart program has no free bulk pickup or yard waste, and Johns' paid bulk service takes only one-person items. Choose between Johns' published flat prices with set tons and WM's quote-by-address service.

Read the Delafield guide
2 researched optionsEau Claire

Eau Claire's published packages can be compared after matching days and weight. Count delivery and pickup dates, include any right-of-way permit cost, and keep yard waste separate. The shortest advertised rental may provide fewer working hours than you expect.

Read the Eau Claire guide
2 researched optionsElkhorn

For a City of Elkhorn cleanout or remodel, plan on a private roll-off and on clearing the City's large-waste-receptacle permit (§ 12.16) before it arrives, because the ordinance appears to cover containers on private lots, not just the street. Redleg suits smaller jobs where a published price matters; WM suits larger or longer projects where you are willing to work from a quote.

Read the Elkhorn guide
2 researched optionsFitchburg

In Fitchburg, decide first whether the job needs a roll-off at all. For a few pieces of furniture or a small batch of drywall, the City contractor's priced bulk pickup may be enough. For a full cleanout or remodel, Bin There Dump That publishes prices and included tons, while WM needs a quote. If the bin will sit in the street, ask Public Works about a right-of-way permit first, and on a permitted remodel include the City's construction recycling paperwork in your plan.

Read the Fitchburg guide
2 researched optionsFort Atkinson

In Fort Atkinson, plan for a dumpster on your paved driveway for no more than 30 days; street placement needs a City exemption. Bin There Dump That publishes flat prices with 2 to 3 tons included, while WM quotes by address, so get WM's written number, tonnage and rental length before comparing.

Read the Fort Atkinson guide
3 researched optionsHudson

Hudson's WM contract covers household carts, not roll-offs, so you can rent from a private company that holds a City hauler license. Keep the box on your driveway if you can; a street spot needs the $50-per-week On-Street Storage Permit before delivery.

Read the Hudson guide
3 researched optionsJanesville

Janesville renters choose between published flat prices with fixed tonnage and quote-based rentals with longer periods. Price a 14-day Trash Box rental against Bin There Dump That's typical 7-day bin, ask each for the weight allowance in writing, and check the City's right-of-way permit before using the street or alley.

Read the Janesville guide
3 researched optionsLake Geneva

For a Lake Geneva cleanout, compare Bin There Dump That's smaller bins with Johns Disposal's 12- to 40-yard roll-offs by included tons, not just price. Plan to keep the bin on your driveway or ask Public Works about the right-of-way form, and take brush and leaves to the City's Carey Street drop-off rather than the dumpster.

Read the Lake Geneva guide
2 researched optionsLake Hallie

Pick a hauler that holds a current Lake Hallie hauler license, since Village code requires one for anyone hauling refuse. Keep the container on your own property, as no dumpster street permit was found, and send brush, leaves and scrap metal to the resident Recycling Center instead.

Read the Lake Hallie guide
3 researched optionsMadison

In the City of Madison, a roll-off is the realistic route for anything beyond a small do-it-yourself project, because the Streets Division refuses major remodeling debris and does not empty private dumpsters. Compare published tonnage and day allowances, keep the bin on your driveway if you can, and budget for a Street Occupancy Permit if it must go in the street.

Read the Madison guide
3 researched optionsMcFarland

In the Village of McFarland, the Pellitteri cart contract and the two yearly bulk weeks cover household items but not remodeling, roofing or demolition debris, so a project of any size usually means a private roll-off. Compare included tons and rental length, keep the bin on your driveway, and call Public Works first if it has to go near the street.

Read the McFarland guide
2 researched optionsMenomonie

Decide what must stay on site for loading and what you can transport yourself. Check resident-site eligibility and material limits before using its fees as a comparison. Then price the remaining load with a City-listed hauler and resolve the placement location.

Read the Menomonie guide
2 researched optionsMiddleton

For a City of Middleton cleanout or remodel, a private roll-off on your driveway is the straightforward route, and zoning lets it stay up to 30 consecutive days; Pellitteri's prepaid bulky pickup suits only a handful of items. The real choice is between a published flat price with set tons (Bin There) and quote-based pricing billed by weight (Pellitteri).

Read the Middleton guide
4 researched optionsMilwaukee

In the City of Milwaukee, a household cleanout or remodel usually means a private roll-off; the City's free cleanup boxes are only for organized neighborhood cleanups. Compare included tons and rental length, which vary more than the base price, and keep the bin on private property unless the City has approved street placement.

Read the Milwaukee guide
2 researched optionsOak Creek

In the City of Oak Creek, a roll-off makes sense once a project goes beyond what fits in the cart or the twice-yearly cleanup. The City's contractor will not take construction debris from a contractor or demolition debris, and the Puetz Road yard bars contractor vehicles and shingles. Keep the bin on your driveway if you can. If it must go in the street, check with Engineering about the temporary encroachment permit first.

Read the Oak Creek guide
2 researched optionsOconomowoc

For a City of Oconomowoc cleanout or remodel, a roll-off on your driveway is the simple route once the job outgrows Johns Disposal's free twice-monthly bulk pickup, which takes remodeling debris only in 32-gallon cans. The City's hauling contract leaves roll-offs for debris to licensed private haulers, and anything placed in the street or terrace needs a City right-of-way permit first.

Read the Oconomowoc guide
3 researched optionsPortage

In Portage the choice is between a small-footprint franchise bin with posted prices, a quote-only national hauler, and Columbia County's own roll-offs, which can take up to three weeks to schedule. Before delivery, ask City Hall whether your placement needs the $25 dumpster permit, which both the Police Chief and Public Works must approve.

Read the Portage guide
2 researched optionsRacine

In the City of Racine, a roll-off is the practical route for remodel or cleanout debris: curbside service and the 21st Street transfer station both refuse construction waste. Put the bin on your own paved driveway if you can; if it must go on the street, budget $100 per 12 days for the Building Division's Street Storage Permit and the required traffic cones.

Read the Racine guide
2 researched optionsStoughton

Use John's Disposal's free monthly bulky pickup for a few items; rent a roll-off when construction debris exceeds two small cans. Bin There Dump That publishes Stoughton prices and tonnage, WM does not. No dumpster-specific street permit was confirmed, so plan for driveway placement or call Public Works first.

Read the Stoughton guide
2 researched optionsSun Prairie

Sun Prairie's City cart contract stops at bulky and large-volume waste, so a cleanout usually means choosing between paid bulk pickup and a private roll-off. One supplier publishes complete package prices and the other quotes only. Keep the bin in your driveway unless Public Works confirms the street rules, and take brush and scrap metal to the Recycle Center.

Read the Sun Prairie guide
2 researched optionsVerona

In the City of Verona, curbside bulk pickup handles only small remodeling loads cut to 3-foot lengths, so a basement cleanout, roof or kitchen tear-out usually means a roll-off or trips to the Dane County landfill. Both local suppliers include 7 days; the bigger difference is how much weight is included and what extra days and tons cost.

Read the Verona guide
2 researched optionsWatertown

Only one Watertown supplier publishes prices, so get WM's quote with the same size, days and tonnage before comparing. Keep the bin on your driveway if you can; a street or terrace placement needs a City temporary obstruction permit that lasts 14 days. For a single carload of debris, the City drop-off may be cheaper than any rental.

Read the Watertown guide
2 researched optionsWisconsin Dells

In the City of Wisconsin Dells, curbside garbage service will not take remodeling debris, furniture or appliances, so most cleanouts need a roll-off or a trip to the county facility. Price the posted Dells package against a written WM quote for the same size, tonnage and days. Keep the bin in your driveway unless Public Works has approved street placement.
