WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — The city of Wausau is giving residents a chance to get rid of those items that are taking up space in a basement or garage.
“Clean it up, Wausau” begins Friday at the yard waste site on Chellis Street. Large items including tires, small and large appliances, and furniture will be accepted from 9 AM to 5 PM, according to Chad Abviehl with the Public Works Department.
“Things like mattresses, old furniture, household appliances, anything that’s too big for your regular garbage pickup,” said Abviehl.
Proof of residency is required to participate. Abviehl says that usually means a driver’s license, but they will also accept a copy of a utility bill for those who have recently moved but haven’t updated their ID.
Residents should note that some items including tires and appliances with freon (refrigerators, freezers, or window air conditioning units) will require a fee. Abviehl also notes that smaller items can be disposed of in your regular garbage pickup, but anything larger than that should wait for events like Clean it up, Wausau.
