Solid Waste Facility
Oneida County Solid Waste Department
7450 Co Hwy K, Rhinelander, WI 54501
(715) 282-4944A county-run solid waste site on the north side of Rhinelander that locals use for household trash, yard waste, and recycling drop-offs. Rural drivers and homeowners bring pickup loads, trailers, and a steady stream of small trucks during cleanup season.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up area where vehicles pause before moving on. Bays and piles are visible from the road; recycling bins sit off to one side and bulk/drop-off areas are easy to spot. Trucks usually drive up to a scale and then are directed where to unload, so plan for a short stop at the booth followed by a slow pull-through. Winter months can change how things are staged, with snow piles and salted ramps making for slower traffic and extra caution when walking around the site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items; wind and driving on gravel can turn a load into a mess before getting to the unload point.
- Separate recyclables from general trash ahead of time and put smaller items in bins or clear bags for quicker drop-off.
- Avoid weekend afternoons during spring cleanup if possible-midweek mornings are usually much quieter and quicker.
