(414) 355-6500Small but practical dump on the northwest side of Milwaukee that locals use to drop off household debris and cleanup loads. Looks like a county-style facility that gets a steady stream of trailers and pickup trucks on weekends. Handy for people in the area who need a quick place to unload rather than hauling into the city transfer station.
There’s an entrance lane with a booth and a weigh scale where vehicle loads are processed, so plan for a short stop at the front. Pull up to the booth, then follow the signs to the tipping area and any recycling or drop-off bins that are set off to the side. The site is mostly paved with piles and roll-off containers visible from the access road; expect the usual mix of trucks and hand-carry customers. Winter months can mean changed procedures and slower movement around the site, so give extra time when roads are icy or right after a snowfall.
