Sanitation crews will return to sanitation duties on Tuesday and work extended 10-hour shifts throughout the week to complete all delayed collections after being reassigned to assist with snow operations, according to a release from DPW.

In the release, DPW provided the following instructions for residents:

  • Set your cart out on your regular collection day
  • Leave it out until it’s collected. Pickup may be later than usual
  • Clear snow and ice from the top of your cart and the area around it so crews can access it. Carts that aren’t accessible cannot be collected.

To confirm your normal collection schedule, visit milwaukee.gov/collectionday.
