Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →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.
