Waste Collection & Recycling Guidelines

The City of Delafield contracts with Waste Management for the collection of residential garbage and recyclable materials. The program, developed in cooperation with Waukesha County and other municipalities in the county, provides for an expanded list of recyclable materials and streamlines the process of handling and collecting refuse and recycling. The cost for this service is included in your property taxes.

• Up-the-Drive Garbage Service

Both refuse and recycling is collected from all households Monday through Thursday, depending on where you live.
