105 County Rd Y, Oshkosh, WI 54901

(920) 232-1800

Recycling Winnebago County is the county recycling center just off County Rd Y in Oshkosh, used by residents dropping off household recyclables and items that don’t fit in curbside bins. It’s the kind of place people bring a carload or a pickup and stay long enough to sort and unload. Winters can change how things run, so procedures and access may be different in the colder months.

Expect a modest county-run site with separate collection areas and a staffed entrance area where vehicles line up to unload. Drop-off points for common materials like paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics are typically grouped together, and the center often runs special programs at times for items such as electronics, appliances or yard waste. Weekend and spring cleanup times usually see longer lines and slower movement, so plan for a bit of waiting. Surfaces can be muddy in spring and icy in winter, and the site footprint is more utilitarian than tidy - bring patience for unloading and sorting.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, containers, and mixed items to speed unloading and reduce fumbling at the site.
  • Avoid peak weekend and spring-cleanup hours if possible; weekday mornings tend to move faster at county centers.
  • Dress for the season and bring gloves - winter brings icy patches and carts or ramps can be slippery, while spring brings mud and wet surfaces.
