Village Recycling and Yard Waste Center
The Village of Pewaukee Yard Waste Disposal and Recycling Center is located at 552 Hickory St. The center is open Wednesdays between May and September and Saturdays early April through mid-December for your convenience. Please check the home-page calendar for exact dates.
The utilization of the yard waste disposal site requires a yard tag to be purchased from the Village Hall each new year. The fee is $35.00 per year (Jan 1 thru Dec 31). Please have a proof of residence (Driver's License, utility bill, etc.) available at the time of purchase. **Due to a change in vendor, yard waste tags can no longer be purchased online. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Yard Waste Permit - **This is a SEASONAL permit (March - December) and does not run by the Calendar Year. Example: A permit purchased in November 2025 is only good until the last day of the season. A new permit for the 2026 season will need to be purchased after the 1st of the year. The Village does not pro-rate.
The Village is not responsible if the tag is lost or is misplaced. There is not a replacement option. A new tag must be purchased at the regular price.
