The City of Green Bay Department of Public Works has temporarily closed the East Side used oil recycling station at 1820 Mills Street so the tank can be cleaned.

Sediment and other contaminants have accumulated in the bottom of the tank, and our collection contractor will not pump it out until it has been cleaned. A reopening date has not been determined.

Residents can still use the West Side station at 519 South Oneida Street, which is open 24 hours a day. The entrance is on Redwood Drive off of West Mason Street.

As a reminder, these stations are for used motor oil only. Other fluids and materials should not be placed in the tank.

Did you know that when it rains, or when snow melts, the oils, pollutants, and debris on our roadways run unfiltered into nearby lakes and streams? Help us celebrate Wisconsin Stormwater Week Sept. 19-27, 2026 by committing to do your part year-round to keep our stormwater clean. Here's how you can help at home:

· Install rain barrels - catch water from your roof to use later for watering plants

· Minimize fertilizer use (or skip it entirely)

· Keep grass clippings off streets and sidewalks (same with fallen leaves)

· Always pick up pet waste

· Take good care of your vehicle - fix oil and fluid leaks right away

Fall in Green Bay means cooler weather and time to close the pool!

Before you drain it, remember: Fish don’t swim in chlorine.

When closing your pool:

✔️ Stop adding chlorine and let the water sit for several days.

✔️ Test the water to make sure the chlorine is gone.

✔️ Slowly drain the water onto your lawn or landscaping so it can soak into the ground.

Never drain chlorinated pool water into a storm drain. Storm drains can carry water straight to local streams and rivers.

Help keep our local waters clean and safe this fall!
