City of Beaver Dam residents that receive City sponsored solid waste collection services are advised that starting Monday, October 19, 2026, leaves, grass rakings, garden vines and stalks may be placed in tree border areas at the street edge, NOT in the street, in loose piles, for collection by Public Works. This collection will begin sometime within the next 2 weeks and continue through an announced date in November.

Please note the following guidelines:
Yard waste is NOT allowed to be placed in the street or gutter.

If possible, do not pile yard waste around or near trees, street light poles, or street sign posts. Piling yard waste around these items slows down the collection process.

These materials must be placed loose at the curbside. Please do not place in a container or in the street.

Leaves, rakings and garden debris must not be mixed with any other forms of waste such as brush or shrubbery cuttings, and NOT placed in the street. Separate regulations pertaining to brush and shrubbery collections are still in effect.

Fruits, nuts and vegetables are not acceptable and should be disposed of as garbage.

Violations will be rejected and must be removed from the curb (tree border) within 24 hours.

We will attempt to keep the Leaf Collection page on the city’s website updated regularly. The final collection for the season will be announced in November, and is dependent on the weather.

The Public Works Yard Waste Drop-off Site, at 205 W South Street, is also available for disposal of these and other yard waste materials by City Residents only. No waste of any kind will be accepted from outside of the city limits or from any contractors.

Questions should be directed to the Department of Public Works at 887-4635 or through the City’s web site at www.cityofbeaverdam.com.

UPDATED: 10.6.26
Modification to the detour. Cooper St. will be used rather than Davis St.

Utility work is planned for next week in the 600 block of S. Center St. The road will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, October 12 between W. Davis St. and W. South St.
Beginning Tuesday, October 13, excavation of the street will take place in front of 625 and 627 S Center St. It is anticipated concrete will be removed across the entire street in this area preventing travel through this area until concrete is poured.
A detour will be set up using W. Mill St, S. Spring St, and COOPER ST. Following utility work, concrete will be restored. It is anticipated the project will be completed and re-opened to traffic no later than October 21. Schedule is weather permitting.
