Menasha's Single Stream Recycling Program

Residential recyclables are collected curbside once per month on your regular refuse collection day. There are 2 different collection cycles in the City of Menasha . Recycling schedules for your specific neighborhood are provided with your yearly recycling material or by checking your address on the website, or contacting the PWF.

When preparing your recyclables for collection, please observe the following:

When positioning your container for collection, please locate your container at least 3-5 feet from your blue refuse cart, poles, or trees that may interfere with collection.
