Local services and rules

Moving to Fond du Lac: who to call and what the city asks.

City crews collect leaves from the terraces each fall, and the leaves are raked in rows next to the curb rather than bagged. The city does not pick up grass, garden waste or branches from homes; those go to the Municipal Service Center.

Winter parking rules and downtown permits

From November 15th through March 15th, on-street parking is restricted between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. During the restrictions, parking from 8:00 PM on even-numbered days is on the even side of the street only, and odd-numbered days follow the odd side. No permits are required.

Parking on Main Street downtown is free with a two hour limit, and downtown parking is free on evenings and weekends. Downtown parking permits are bought at the Central Collections Office in the City-County Government Center, 160 South Macy Street, or by phone at (920) 322-3460.

Fond du Lac Waterworks service forms

Water service is applied for with a Service Agreement Form, which is emailed or mailed to the Fond du Lac Waterworks business office. Forms for a water service transfer must reach the Waterworks office within five business days of the transfer.

Garbage and recycling carts

Garbage is collected weekly in green/teal carts. The service stays with the home when ownership changes, so it does not need to be started or cancelled. The collection day for a given address is looked up by entering the address in the city's Solid Waste Schedule.

Carts must be at the curb by 5:00 A.M. on collection day. Loose trash left outside the cart is not collected.

Recycling is collected every other week on the same day as garbage collection. Recycling carts are provided through the recycling hauler, limited to one per household.

Bulky item pickup and drop-off sites

Curbside collection of bulky household items is available throughout the city and is scheduled by phone at 920-322-3540. City residents can also drop off bulky household items at the Municipal Service Center, 490 Doty Street.

Extra recycling that does not fit the recycling cart can be dropped off free of charge at the hauler's facility at 1207 S Hickory Street.

The city's yard waste sites are for city residents only; contractors are not allowed. The mulch bin at the Municipal Service Center is open around the clock, every day.
