Drop-off Site Information
The Village strongly encourages residents to recycle leaves, grass and garden debris at home by composting, mulching, or grass recycling. Grass clippings are best left on the lawn. However, if you have more yard materials than you can recycle, then you can take excess yard materials to the Village drop-off site located behind the municipal garage at the end of Badger Street. A load should not exceed a pickup truck box in size. Accepted material: leaves, grass clippings and garden waste. Stumps, tree trunks, logs of any size, sod, dirt, timbers, rocks, concrete, boards or foreign material will not be accepted. Tree limbs and stumps can be brought to Wisconsin Rapids as long as you have a valid compost tag.
No dumping of any kind is allowed at the Biron Garage site located on Williams Street.

Wisconsin Rapids compost site tags are for sale at the Biron Municipal Center. Cost is $70.00 for non-residents of the City of Wisconsin Rapids. If the tag is lost, a new one will have to be purchased; no replacements. The East Side site is located at the intersection of HWY 54 and CTY W.
