The Town of Winneconne is under a town-wide contract with Waste Management Phone: 1-855-207-5817
This contract is for pickup and hauling of garbage and recyclables on a weekly basis for residential homes. Our recyclables are taken to the Winnebago County Landfill by the hauler for processing. Town of Winneconne residents are conscientious of our environment and are doing a GREAT JOB with our recycling. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
The annual fee for the garbage and recycling service is included on your tax bill as a Code 13 charge. This fee is billed in advance for the following year. If your new home was completed during the tax year, you will be billed separately for the balance of the year and your next year’s service will be on the tax bill you receive in December.
