Small regional disposal site just off South 124th in Franklin that local residents use to drop household waste. The place sees a mix of pickup trucks, trailers and the occasional small commercial load, so expect a working, no-frills atmosphere.
Drive up to an entrance booth where staff handle the traffic flow; there’s usually a scale to drive over so vehicles are weighed on the way in or out. Pull-up lanes lead to large open tipping areas and compactors, with recycling drop-off points typically set aside to the side. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and winter operations in Wisconsin can mean different procedures or reduced access around snow events.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have the back of the truck or trailer secured and covered so loose material doesn’t blow out on the road - tarps and straps save time at the gate.
- Bring something to close or fasten the load; staff won’t load or rearrange material for residents.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup days if possible; midweek visits move faster when available.
