Refuse – Johns Disposal

Refuse and Recycling pick up – Up-The-Drive Service
The pick up for your home will be weekly on Friday. All waste should be placed in containers no larger than 40 gallons and not weighing more than 60 pounds (provided by homeowner). Recycling bins can be obtained from John’s Disposal.  Pick up will be made from outside and next to your garage. Collections begin at 7:00 am. Please make sure your garbage and recycle is available for pick up by that time. Please do the following:

• Garbage and recycle must be visible and in an easily accessible location and not “parked in” by vehicles.
• Materials should be rinsed, clean and ready for collection by 7:00 am.
• There are no limits on the amount of recyclables that will be picked up. Additional recycling that does not fit in your recycling bin should be placed in an extra garbage can or plastic container.

Yard Waste Disposal

We recently learned that Johns Disposal offers yard waste disposal to the Village of Chenequa residents.

The yard waste can be dumped at their Whitewater facility.  They have a yard waste dumpster at the front of their building located at 105 County Road U, Whitewater, WI  53190.

Hours are: Monday through Friday from 8am – 4:30pm.

The drop off is closed on weekends and holidays but is open seasonally from spring through fall.  They usually end the season at the first snowfall.

Yard waste should be “pure” with NO plastic, wire or twine/ tape.  Compostable paper bags ARE accepted.  Compostable plastic bags are NOT accepted by Johns because they are not accepted at compost sites.

Trailer loads are NOT accepted and contractors are NOT to dump at their facility.

Household Hazardous Waste

Household hazardous Waste (HHW)
The Village works with Waukesha County to provide residents a responsible solution for disposing of household hazardous waste.

Waukesha County operates four (4) year-round household hazardous waste drop-off sites for residents and four (4) special one-day collections in spring and fall. Verify that your items are acceptable waste (PDF) and make sure to have proof of residency when bringing items to any HHW site. There is no fee for this service.

More information can be found on the Waukesha County website here.
