Solid Waste Facility
Portage County Solid Waste Department
600 Moore Rd, Plover, WI 54467
(715) 343-6297A county-run solid waste facility in Plover serving residents with general trash, recycling and yard waste needs. Locals bring household loads, lawn debris and mixed recyclables here rather than hauling things to private transfer sites.
The site is at 600 Moore Rd and looks like a working county facility rather than a retail center - there’s typically an entrance booth and open drive-up areas for dropping off materials. Expect to pull up, sort items by type as directed, and then exit past a scale area where vehicles are weighed for billing. The recycling containers are usually grouped to one side and piles for yard waste and bulk items are visible from the drives; winter months can bring altered procedures and slower traffic flow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials loosely separated - cardboard, mixed recycling and yard waste kept apart makes the drop-off faster.
- Plan for extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup when lines commonly form; winter operations may also slow things down.
- Have vehicle trailers empty enough to maneuver: larger loads may require backing up and staff will direct where to place items.
