3 Steps for More Efficient Recycling Collection
Recycle Right
Remember the following:
- No plastic bags- place all recyclables loosely in your cart.
- No shredded paper- take confidential papers to a shred event for shredding and recycling.
- Flatten and cut cardboard to fit inside cart.
- Empty and rinse all containers- Don’t forget to replace the screw caps.
Commingle
Mix all your recyclables into 1 cart.
Commingled recycling is an efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly recycling method. It reduces the number of carts needed for collection, which reduces the number of stops needed to complete a collection route, saving the Village time and resources.
Fill it Up
If your recycle cart is less than 1/2 full on collection day, continue to fill it until the next collection day.
Don’t overfill the cart, you must be able to close the lid when full.
Damaged Garbage/Recycling Carts
It is the responsibility of the property owner to replace damaged carts by purchasing a new one from the Village.
Carts were originally purchased by the Village for each residential property in 2004. They have exceeded their life expectancy and after years of regular use, frigid temperatures and harsh sunlight, the carts are beginning to break down. Going forward, it is the responsibility of the property owner to purchase a new one from the Village.
The cost of a new bin is $70.00 each. They can be purchased here or in person at Village Hall. Once paid for, they will be delivered to you.
Brown County Port & Resource Recovery Department
Village garbage and recyclables are hauled and disposed of at Brown County Transfer Stations (Recycling and Refuse).
Brown County currently operates a Single Stream Recycling Transfer Facility that transfers paper and commingled containers for county residents, business, and municipalities to the Tri-County Material Recovery Facility. The Solid Waste Transfer Station on West Mason Street currently transfers waste to the Brown County South Landfill as part of a three-county waste disposal agreement.
The Village is billed for the disposal of solid waste through a low-cost long-term Solid Waste Management Agreement with Brown County.
Is This Recyclable?
Betterbin and the Waste Wizard are online recycling resources provided by Tri-County Recycling. They take the guesswork out of recycling by providing a local search engine to determine if and how an item is recycled in Brown County.
