Waste and Materials Management
New On-line Complaint Form for Solid Waste or Hazardous Waste Complaints
To report a solid waste or hazardous waste complaint, please use the on-line complaint form.
The Waste and Materials Management Program encourages management of waste as a resource to help ensure a clean and healthy Wisconsin for future generations. Wisconsin's communities and businesses benefit from a more efficient economy and a cleaner environment when waste becomes a resource.
We develop policies and offer technical assistance to actively encourage the reduction, recycling and re-use of wastes as raw material for new products. We oversee management of solid and hazardous waste through storage, treatment and disposal. We also work with local governments to reclaim mining sites to valued natural resources.
New Fee Exemption in 2011-2013 Biennial Budget
The 2011-2013 Biennial Budget contained a provision for a new tip fee exemption for waste generated as a result of a natural disaster.
