2022 Drive Up Garbage Collection Won't Be Delayed In Brookfield

BROOKFIELD, WI—The City of Brookfield announced drive up garbage collection service will not be delayed in 2022.

The city is transitioning to a new garbage contractor, GFL (Green for Life) on Jan. 4.

"We learned today from Green for Life they were able to acquire the necessary amount of fabricated trucks in-time to prevent the delay in up the drive garbage collection," Alderman Mike Hallquist said.

GFL has begun delivering recycling cans for the recycling and trash collection.

Here is a summary of what you need to know by Jan. 4:

• From January to March 1, residents must place their garbage and recycling at the end of the driveway until GFL has new trucks available.
• Your pickup day may change in 2022 based on your location.
• A new 32-gallon recycling container will be provided in December to be used by residents in 2022.

If there are residents with legitimate medical reasons that they are unable to pull the cans towards the street, they should contact GFL at their customer care number 262-367-6040 and inform them of their need, according to the Department of Public Works.

The city's website will be updated with information about trash and recycling service on the website on Jan. 4 when the new contract starts.
