Special Pick-Up

Loader Pick-Ups

Special Pick Up with loader is a fee based service for the collection of rocks, concrete, bricks, wood, lumber, trees, plaster, dirt, used household furniture and appliances which cannot be moved by hand. The cost is $100 for the first truck load and $50 for each additional load. Material should be placed within 3 feet of the curb or alley. Materials should not be mixed. This may result in a higher charge.

Any material which is not dirt, concrete, tree branches or logs will be assessed an addition $25 per cubic yard to offset the cost of disposal. Call the Street Department at 414-768-8075 to request an estimate for Loader jobs. The option is available to take the material in question to the Self Deposit Station at no charge.
