Clean Sweep Closing for the Season on October 30th
Facility also closing on Friday, October 22nd for County Furlough Day
The Dane County / City of Madison Clean Sweep Program for recycling household hazardous waste will end its 2010 season on Saturday, October 30th at 2 PM. Items that can be dropped off at Clean Sweep include oil based paints, pesticides, poisons, household products containing organic solvents, ignitable, aerosols, and non-automotive type rechargeable batteries. On the final day, all traffic will be routed to the Badger Road driveway behind the Dane County Highway garage. Customers will be directed to drive through the facility and remain in their cars while the products are unloaded. The Product Exchange will be closed during this period. Customers with large loads will be directed to a parking stall for unloading. A large turnout is anticipated, so there may be delays. The Clean Sweep staff highly recommends that you should avoid the last day rush and drop off materials before the 30th. We are no longer accepting business, municipal or agricultural appointments for the 2010 season. Normal hours of operation are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The site is located at the Dane County Highway garage, 2302 Fish Hatchery Road in Madison. Prior to the last Saturday the site can be accessed by following the signs on Fish Hatchery Road or on West Badger Road. It is important to drop off household hazardous waste during the listed hours of operation. Leaving materials at the site when it is closed is illegal and can lead to a $2,000.00 fine. Clean Sweep will also be closed on Friday October 22nd for a mandatory Dane County government furlough day.
