There will be no refuse or recycling collection in the City of Madison on Wednesday July 4th due to the Independence Day holiday. Residents who have their refuse and recycling collected on Wednesday will have their material collected on Thursday July 5th. Residents in Thursday's refuse collection district will also have their material collected on the 5th.

"Because of the double collection on Thursday the 5th it is important that residents have their material out by 7 a.m. to insure collection," Madison Recycling Coordinator George Dreckmann said.

Because of the holiday, the Streets Division's large item service may run a day late the week of July 4th.

The City of Madison yard waste drop off sites will also be closed on Wednesday July 4th.
