Disposal Site
Three Lakes Disposal Area
1313 S Big Lake Loop Rd, Three Lakes, WI 54562
Small county-style disposal site used mostly by local residents of Three Lakes. A practical spot for neighborhood cleanouts and routine trash drop-offs, not a big commercial operation. The site sees most traffic on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Drive up to a single entrance with a small attendant booth; plan to stop there before driving into the main area. There’s usually a scale nearby and vehicles are commonly weighed, so expect to stop again on the way out. The compact layout has piles or containers for different materials and a rough gravel surface with clear sightlines to each drop-off point. Winter months can mean changed procedures or limited access, so conditions may be different than in summer.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or a tarp to keep loads from blowing around; the access road and tipping area are exposed and windy.
- Sort recyclables from trash in advance-recycling drop-offs are often near the front so unloading is quicker if items are separated.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; lines and wait times get noticeably longer then.
