Brown County WI Resource Recovery is the county waste disposal site in Green Bay used by local residents and contractors hauling household or yard material. It sits on S Broadway and handles routine community drop-offs, especially during neighborhood cleanups. Expect a working-site feel rather than a tidy storefront.

Drive up to an entry booth and be prepared to stop briefly at the scale if bringing a vehicle with a load; many people pull in, check in, then move to a staging area. The site is fairly large with piles, compactors, and open bays visible from the lanes; recycling containers are often grouped to the right of the entrance. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so lines and multiple vehicles moving about are common. Winter months may change how lanes are used and which areas are accessible, so the layout can look different compared with summer.

Before You Go

  • Bring something to cover loose material in the bed of a truck-wind can scatter debris quickly while driving through the site.
  • Have loads sorted enough to avoid extra trips around the site; people who know the place usually pull up to the booth, then go to the right places without circling back.
  • Expect delays on busy Saturdays and spring cleanup weekends; if avoiding lines matters, plan for a weekday if possible.
