Madison Streets Division provides large item collection by appointment under MGO §10.188. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, rugs, and large appliances.

Paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, and batteries are hazardous waste accepted at Dane County's Clean Sweep program at the Rodefeld Landfill in Verona (seasonal clean sweep events). Construction and demolition debris (drywall, shingles, concrete) is not eligible for curbside bulk pickup. Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Middleton, and other municipalities operate similar appointment-based programs through their hauler.
