Use the "Look up your Collection Schedule" tool on the City of Madison Streets & Urban Forestry page. Type in your street address and it shows your collection schedule. If the tool can't find your address, the page links to a collection schedule map you can check instead. If you can't use the online form, you can email the City with your address, or call Streets customer service on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.: 608-246-4532 for the east side or 608-266-4681 for the west side. The page doesn't say which line serves which address, so you may need to try the other. Holidays can shift pickup, so check the City's announcements around them. This covers City of Madison collection only. Other communities in Dane County have their own haulers and schedules.
