If it was up to me, we'd spend WAY more time here. Let me explain - I am a person who discards things that are no longer useful. I am not a "saver". I am married to a saver, a wonderful, kind gentleman who, in fact, has moved a box containing old-ass Netflix return envelopes from one residence to another. I digress...
If you're a City of Milwaukee resident, or you have a buddy with a MKE address the facility is FREE to use. We were long time Tosa residents and were used to paying something for every trip to dump crap off (I think it is $5 per trip or something). That's a big savings if you're moving like we are and need to get rid of general junk, yard waste, cardboard, old furniture, etc. You DO have to pay if you're dumping "construction waste" - stuff like wood or drywall waste. That's $20 per load and meant to discourage small contractors from filling up the dumpsters. I get it, but it would be nice if there were some provision for the homeowner with a light load.
The people that work here are really nice - they happily direct you to the right place. For a dump, it's pretty clean too, even on busy days. There are enough bays that we've never had to wait - it's a painless process overall. So if you've got a bunch of crap laying around, check this place out - hopefully you'll see me getting rid of clutter! read more
