Did you know that in addition to helping the environment, your recycling efforts offet your property taxes by providing revenue to the Town in the form of recycling grant funding from the Wisconsin DNR? Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that we continue to benefit from this program!

Normal collection day for both garbage and recyclables is Wednesday. However, when a holiday falls on a Monday or Tuesday, pick-up will be on Thursday that week. Please place bags/cans and recycle bins next to your driveway by 6:30 A.M.

2009 Holiday Pickup Schedule:
Holiday	Date Celebrated	Pick-up Date
Memorial Day	Monday, May 25, 2009	Thursday, May 28, 2009
Labor Day	September 7, 2009	Thursday, September 10, 2009

Up to 4 bags/cans of solid waste, plus the recycle bin contents will be collected weekly. This excludes any commercial waste, construction items, furniture, or appliances. Please contact Waste Management at 273-2500 to make arrangements for these items to be picked up for an additional fee.

Yard waste will NOT be picked up at roadside, but may be composted or burned, if an Open Burning Permit is obtained.

All recyclables must be put in the recycle bin loose. Newspapers, plain paper or glossy paper such as magazines and/or catalogs must be bundled or bagged separately and placed on top of the recycle bin. Corrugated cardboard boxes must be emptied and flattened, and tied into 4’x4’x6” bundles. Please crush cans and plastic containers to conserve space. List of recyclable materials
