Fall Junk Days

The City of Beaver Dam will again have a special trash pick-up for large items that are not normally picked up.  The items for pick-up must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. to ensure they will be picked up.  Brush and tree limbs must be tied in a bundle to make them easier to be collected.  No roofing or tires will be accepted.  We especially ask that you do not dispose of regular household garbage during these days.

The pick-up schedule will be as follows:

Monday, October 6th will be junk day for customers whose regular garbage day is on Wednesdays.

Tuesday, October 7th will be junk day for customers whose regular garbage day is on Thursdays.

The City of Beaver Dam encourages residents to take this opportunity to clean up around their homes.  For more information, contact City Hall at 274-7106. Remember, please have your "junk" out by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled day.
