Waukesha County does not collect garbage or recycling. The county states it "does not provide any type of pickup service"; each municipality contracts with its own hauler. Collection days and rules come from your city, village, town, or hauler.
In Waukesha County, curbside garbage and recycling collection is a municipal responsibility. The county's role, per its recycling ordinance, is to act as the "Responsible Unit" that administers processing, reporting, outreach, and enforcement for the municipalities it serves, while each municipality contracts with a hauler to actually collect refuse and recyclables. For collection schedules, accepted materials, cart sizes, and holiday delays, residents must consult their municipality or its contracted hauler, not the county.
Missed-collection and setout issues are handled by your municipality or hauler; the county does not enforce individual pickup rules.
