KAUKAUNA, Wis. (WFRV) – The City of Kaukauna is asking residents to take greater care when using the community disposal site, following a rise in violations that pose safety risks and disrupt operations.
According to a Facebook post from the City of Kaukauna Government, unauthorized items, such as cabinets, furniture, building materials, metal objects, and electronics, have been repeatedly dumped at the site. In addition, overfilled dumpsters and trash piled on the ground are becoming common problems.

The City Government says that overfilled dumpsters present serious safety hazards for city employees. They present a simple rule: If the lid doesn’t close, the dumpster is overfilled. Residents are required to either take their refuse back home or bring it to the Outagamie County Landfill if dumpsters are full.
When you sign up for site access, you agree to the Disposal Site Agreement and rules. Violations can result in:
- A $150 fine for the first offense
- A $300 fine for subsequent offenses
- Loss of site access at the City’s discretion
The Facebook post emphasizes: We can and need to do better. All residents are encouraged to review the site rules to help maintain a safe, clean, and functional disposal area.
