Solid Waste Disposal
Winnebago County Solid Waste Management, conveniently located off of I-41 at the Jackson St. exit in Oshkosh, is your go-to waste disposal resource for residential and commercial materials. We offer a well-organized and clean Residential Drop-off Area that helps keep small vehicles and pedestrian traffic away from commercial truck activity.
While using our facility, please keep in mind:
-
All vehicles/loads must be scaled in prior to unloading.
-
All open loads must be covered while on any Winnebago County road (from your point of origin to any other location) as cited in Winnebago County General Code 15.51(3).
-
High-visibility safety vests/shirts are required for users of the Transfer Station, but are not needed in the Residential Drop-off Area.
-
There is a minimum fee for most waste materials brought to the facility. Click here for our current rate sheet.

We do not have staff available to assist with unloading vehicles.
