COVID-19 Response: The health, safety, and well-being of our employees, customers, vendors, and visitors are of utmost importance. At this time, we are operating our C&D recycling services on a normal schedule. However, all transactions for C&D recycling will need to be made at the self service kiosk at the scale. No cash transactions or entry into the scalehouse will be allowed. If you need to speak with any of our staff, we suggest calling (608) 838-9555 to get your questions answered.

Construction & Demolition Recycling

Through an innovative, public-private partnership, we are proud to offer local sorting and recycling for construction and demolition (C&D) materials right here in Dane County! Renovated in 2016, our C&D Recycling Facility is a 28,650 sq. ft. building located adjacent to Clean Sweep at the Dane County Landfill site.

Loads of C&D are weighed in and out at the scale house similar to materials heading to the landfill. If you have questions about site navigation or weighing in and out, scale house staff are available to assist you upon arrival.
