What is Clean Sweep? Clean Sweep is a limited time collection of unwanted, unused or damaged agricultural or household hazardous wastes.

Doing so can be extremely dangerous! - Pack materials for your safety. Place materials in a cardboard box lined with a plastic bag. Separate each product with a folded newspaper. - If a container is leaking, put it in a secondary leak-proof container. - Pack containers in the trunk of your vehicle, away from the driver, passengers and pets. - Unknown materials can be brought in, but Dodge County and its hazardous waste disposal contractor reserve the right to refuse any material.

Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) Program A VSQG is a small business that generates less than 2,205 lbs. of legally defined hazardous waste. These small businesses can take advantage of the lower collection and disposal rates negotiated by the State of Wisconsin for Household and Agricultural Hazardous Waste Collection Programs. Agricultural small businesses are also eligible to receive a 50% cost share from state pesticide funds, lowering the cost even more. To participate, businesses must contact the UW-Extension Office, (920) 386-3790, at least two weeks in advance. Businesses will then be put in contact with the waste disposal company to develop a collection and disposal contract.
