South Point is Replacing Badger Rd as the West Side Drop-off Site

On Tuesday, March 29, 2022 the drop-off site at 402 South Point Road will open.

As previously announced, the Streets Division drop-off site at 1501 W. Badger Rd will shut down on March 25, 2022 and will remain closed until at least the spring of 2023.

When South Point opens, the location will replace Badger Rd. This means South Point will accept trash, recycling, yard waste, brush, electronics, Styrofoam, and the other material that had been dropped off at the Badger Rd. location.

If you plan on dropping off an item at South Point Rd that requires a fee, like a television or microwave, you must plan ahead and pay the fee in advance.

Items that require a fee must have a fee sticker attached to the item before they will be accepted at the site.
