Clean Sweep

Clean Sweep events are offered several times throughout the year and provide residents with an opportunity to bring their collections of hazardous materials to a central location for proper disposal.

WRR Environmental Services executes these events three times per year. These events are intended for county residents ONLY.

Businesses, farms, or Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) should contact WRR directly to schedule a separate appointment. (715) 834-9624
