Bulk Trash Pickup in Every Rock County Municipality

Updated

Short answer

Rock County has no county-wide bulk pickup. Each city, village and town sets its own rule, from Beloit's $20 per item to Milton's free monthly pickup to Janesville, which has no curbside bulk program at all. Many towns publish nothing. The table below covers all 29.

Each municipality's page has the full rule, the source link, and what to do when nothing is published. Where a town publishes nothing, the Janesville Sanitary Landfill is open to the public, and Clean Sweep handles chemicals for every county resident.

Patterns worth knowing

  • Johns Disposal towns (Milton, Footville, Orfordville, the Town of Janesville and several other towns) each have their own bulk terms. See Johns Disposal bulk pickup.
  • GFL towns (Edgerton, Evansville, Village of Clinton, Plymouth) generally want a phone call first.
  • Weight limits: Orfordville and the Town of Janesville cap items at 50 pounds.
  • Nothing goes out early: Beloit charges $125 for early set-out; Orfordville and the Town of Janesville allow 24 hours.
