RECYCLING

2010 Calendar

Need to remove construction waste or remodeling debris?

Waste Management has trash dumpsters available for any sized project, commercial or private, short or long term. Just choose the best dumpster container size to fit your needs and Waste Management will deliver it to you and remove it when you’re done. It’s that simple. Go to: www.dumpster.com

Please do not store and/or save up to six months or more of trash and/or recyclables for delivery to the Recycling Center at any one time. When this happens residents coming to the site at the end of the day find the bins full. Your cooperation is needed to resolve this ongoing problem.

Large items such as carpeting, assorted cabinets, and box springs and mattresses can only be accepted between April 1st through the end of October. If you must rid your property of these items you must contact Waste Management or MarOco for disposal.

We are having a problem with residents dropping off cans containing paint and stain. We legally cannot accept these. You must empty the contents of the can into crushed paper or cardboard and then let the soiled paper/cardboard dry and the paint can itself dry. Once dry, both items can be deposited into the trash at the Recycling Center, but not in a liquid form.

Town residents using burn barrels to dispose of household garbage are reminded that only the materials that are allowed to be open burned, namely: leaves, plant clippings, paper and cardboard are to be burned. Plastics, asphalt, rubber and other man-made materials generate hazardous air pollutants and should not be burned in a burn barrel. Residents doing so may be fined by the WDNR. An annual Burning Permit is required for burn barrel use.

The Town of Peshtigo has an ordinance regarding roadside dumping with a $100 reward after arrest and conviction. Should you see someone dumping along the roadside take their license number and call the Town Hall at 582-4332.
