Small municipal drop-off for Waukesha residents looking to get rid of household refuse and recyclables. Located on Sentry Drive, this is the local place people use when a regular curbside pickup won't do.
A single entrance with a small attendant booth and a weigh scale near the approach; vehicles slow down and often have to stop twice - once at the booth and once at the scale. The site is made up of concrete pads and open bays, not a fancy transfer station, so expect an industrial, no-frills look. Recycling containers sit off to one side and bulk drop areas are spread out, meaning a short drive around the lot may be needed to reach the correct spot. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, can get backed up and winter brings altered traffic patterns and procedures, so lines move slower than usual.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have paperwork or proof of residency handy in case it's checked; that cuts down on hold-ups at the booth.
- Load trucks and trailers so items can be unloaded without climbing around - tarps and straps help, and quicker unloading gets you through faster.
- Bring gloves, closed-toe shoes and a flashlight in colder months; winter operations can be slippery and some areas are poorly lit.
