How to Recycle

Place your recyclables in the special recycling containers provided. These containers are to be left with the residence if you move. Waste oil and batteries should be placed along side the recycling cart - not inside. Please keep your recyclables separate from your other garbage.

The trash service will still be weekly and recycling every other week. Call 1-608-580-0580 to make arrangements for pick-up of large items, appliances or electronic waste. As of September 1. 2010 electronic waste is no longer accepted at the landfill.
