It's that time again - brush collection for woody material like sticks, trimmings, or branches from trees and shrubs. Public Works will provide every other week collection of small amounts of resident-generated brush, up to one (1) cubic yard, on the scheduled recycling pick-up day between June 2 and Oct. 3. No brush collection will be made during the holiday weeks of June 30 and Sept. 1, 2025. Follow these simple steps for collection:
- Cut brush into lengths of five feet or less
- Place the pile parallel between the sidewalk and curb
- Put smaller pieces of loose brush in a box or can marked "brush"
- Do not put brush in bags
- Do not mix brush with yard waste (leaves, weeds, flowers, etc)
If you have more than one cubic yard, call the Sanitation and Street Division Monday through Friday at 414-302-8800 to arrange pick-up. Fees will apply. Cash and electronic payments (credit/debit) are accepted at our DPW drop-off site at 6300 W. McGeoch Ave. Convenience fees apply.

The City of West Allis is excited to welcome back the Tour of America’s Dairyland “Cheese Wheel Classic” for the fourth year. This annual bike race brings tours to 11 different communities over 11 days. Each day, eight to ten races are held from late morning to dusk with opportunities for junior riders to seasoned master racers, novices to pros, women, and men, and even hand cyclists.
The "Cheese Wheel Classic" takes place on Friday, June 20, from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. in the Becher Street neighborhood.
During the Community Hour from 6:10 – 7 p.m., the City of West Allis will be taking over the race course for an “Anything That Rolls” Community Hour. During this time, the community will be able to skate, scoot, ride, and roll their way through the racecourse and get a feel for what it’s like to ride the route you’ve seen the bikers racing on all day. We’ll blast the music, and you bring the wheels (skateboards, roller skates, roller blades, scooters, or bikes)!
This race is brought to you by the West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe in partnership with the City of West Allis, Beechwood Sales & Service, New Glarus, TriCity National Bank, and Fords Gin.
