New Berlin, WI Trash & Recycling: Yard Waste Collection (2026)

01(17), Wis. , which the ordinance illustrates with leaves, grass clippings and yard and garden trimmings. Unlike the free weekly refuse and biweekly recycling pickup set under § 220-1 C(4), yard waste collection carries an additional fee, and arrangements for it are made solely between the resident and the collection contractor rather than being folded automatically into the cart service. Because yard waste is excluded from the standard REFUSE definition in § 220-1 B, which specifically excludes yard waste from what counts as refuse for cart collection, a resident cannot simply place leaves or clippings in the regular refuse cart and expect it collected under the base service; a separate contractor arrangement and fee apply.

The related licensing section for private garbage contractors, § 220-6 I, similarly requires contractors to offer leaf, grass, plant debris, brush or other yard waste pickup as a service that may carry its own fee, but bars dumping that material at the City's recycling center or a landfill.
