The Drammen Town Hall Garbage & Recycling Center exists to serve residents but only works if everyone follows the rules. Rising costs and loss of staff mean we must all do our part.

What We Accept

• Small household trash only – must fit into a 35-gallon bag ($5 fee per bag)
• Loose trash is no longer allowed – break it down, bag it, and it will be accepted
• Clean recyclables – only items pictured on recycling containers
• Scrap metal – pile managed by Troy Shulner
• Acceptable: mostly metal appliances (washers, dryers, water heaters)
• Not accepted: microwaves or appliances with Freon

What We Do NOT Accept

• LARGE BILLS, Please no bills over $20 as attendants have limited change
• Mattresses, furniture of any kind
• Small appliances containing electronics
• Oil containers, oil filters (even if cleaned)
• Paint, solvents, or chemicals
• Aerosol cans (unless verified punctured & empty)
• Refrigerators, freezers, or anything with Freon
• Large loads (barn clean-outs, renovations, truck/trailer loads) must go to the Eau Claire County Dump
• Plastic shopping bags (Festival Foods)

Proper Disposal of Restricted Items

Take prohibited items to Eau Claire County Clean Sweep Events (3 times a year) Last event this year: September 20th

Info: Call 715-834-9624 or see the Beaver Creek Reserve Recycler newsletter.

Important Notice

The Center is now monitored 24/7 due to recent illegal dumping of refrigerators and other restricted items. Illegal dumping costs your township money. Citations will be issued if violations continue.

Your Responsibility

The Town of Drammen is proud of its clean, responsible program. To keep fees low and service available, everyone must follow the rules.

• Respect the program
• Dispose of items properly
• Help keep Drammen safe, clean, and sustainable

The Town of Drammen’s Waste and Recycling Program is at a critical crossroads. Recycling services remain free to Eau Claire County taxpayers, but the waste program is offered as a courtesy and must be self-sustaining through user fees. With staffing shortages and rising costs, if we cannot find additional attendants or if the waste program cannot financially support itself, the Township will have no choice but to shut down the waste collection portion of the program. Recycling hours would then be reduced to Saturdays only, year-round, and we are considering fencing off the containers to prevent illegal dumping. An attendant must be present whenever recycling is open to ensure rules are followed. We value this service and want to keep it available, but without community support, closures may become necessary.
