Recycling and Solid Waste

Recycling and Solid Waste in Wisconsin Rapids is the local recycling center people from town use when they want to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors drop off everything from cardboard and cans to bulk items, and it’s the sort of place folks haul a truckload to rather than toss into curbside bins.

Pull in off Griffith Ave toward a small entrance booth and lanes for different drop-offs; the site is fairly large with open tipping areas and rows of containers. There’s usually a scale near the entrance, since county-run sites commonly weigh loads so expect to stop again on the way out. Recycling bins tend to sit to the right after the booth, while larger items get driven to separate drop points. Winter brings different routines and sometimes reduced access, so be prepared for snowbanked lanes or temporary changes in traffic flow.
