Garbage & Recycling Collection is every Friday. Containers should be out by 6 AM on day of collection.
When a holiday occurs, all curbside pickup is delayed one day, the garbage/recycling delay will occur after: New Years, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The Town contracts with GFL for rubbish and recycling collection services. They would like to remind customers of current policies:
~ Garbage and recycling carts should have at least 5 feet of separation between containers, allowing easier pick up of garbage carts.
~ Carts should be set out early morning of the assigned pick up date.
~ Carts must be removed from Town ROW within 24 hours of garbage or recycling pickup.
~ All garbage should be properly bagged.
~ GFL collects with two separate trucks, one for garbage and another for recyclables.
~ Recyclables: please use the blue-lidded recycling cart to its fullest potential.
~ Do not recycle plastic grocery bags or place recyclables in plastic bags. Doing so jambs the recycling machines and greatly reduces the efficiency of the recycling process.
As part of the Tri-County Recycling program all residents of Brown County can recycle more materials than ever before. The following guideline provides a concise summary of what everyone should be recycling.
The State of Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources has banned many household items from landfill disposal (including electronic items, oil, oil filters, etc.). This ban includes businesses and residential properties see DNR website for banned items: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Recycling/Banned.html
