Garbage & Recycling

The City of Dodgeville is pleased to provide high-quality garbage & recycling services through Faherty Inc. Recycling & Waste Collection. Trash & Recyclables are picked up weekly with pickups split into three different collection days: Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. If you are a new resident to the City of Dodgeville, please check the "Garbage & Recycling Pickup Schedule" listed below. Locate your address on the map to help determine what day your garbage will be picked up. Our current garbage & recycling rate is $11.00 per month and this fee is collected on your monthly utility bill.

Recycling Containers are available to purchase at the Clerk's Office at 100 E Fountain. The cost is $7.95 per bin.
Please have items out for collection by 7:00 AM on your day of collection.
To help avoid worker injury, garbage containers should have a maximum size of 35 gallons and weight no more than 50 pounds.
Households with large amounts of waste, such as move outs, which exceed the weekly limit, must rent a dumpster. Also, construction debris is not considered household waste and must be placed in a dumpster at the homeowner's/occupants expense.
