Recycling
Residential pick up of recyclables is made twice a month on the second and fourth Monday of the month.
All recyclables should be placed at the end of the driveway in a clear plastic bag. Recyclables are to be mixed in the same bag (they do not need to be separated) and may include glass, plastic, tin and aluminum as follows:
plastic- no. 1 thru 7, rinsed, caps off
glass- rinsed, caps off
aluminum/tin-rinsed
newspapers-bundled and securely tied
cardboard- flattened and securely tied in bundle
magazines
This service is available to all town residents and includes recyclables only. This service has been contracted to Mike's Disposal, any questions call 643-8760. It does not include regular garbage pickup (this must be contracted privately) nor does it include non-recyclables (lead batteries, tires, yard waste, major appliances, or motor oil).
The Sauk County landfill is open to the public every Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call 524-6515 for further information.
The amount of recyclables collected in township more than tripled over the last four years. In 1995 an estimated 20 tons of recyclables were dropped off at the recycling center. The tonnage in 1996 increased to 42 tons, 56 tons in 1997, 65 tons in 1998, and 67 tons in 1999 and 2000. While this program has been very successful, it ultimately depends on the participation of all town residents.
