Trash and Recycling
2024 Garbage & Recycling Calendar
The Town has an automated service using trash and recycling carts on wheels. Each residential unit will be given a 65-gallon trash and a 95-gallon recycling container. The carts have flip tops, which will help eliminate items being blown around. The trash will be collected weekly. The recycling will be collected every other week (EOW).
If you wish to have a larger garbage container, you may contact Pellitteri directly. You will then be charged an annual fee for the larger size. That charge is paid directly to Pellitteri. For scheduling the pick-up of items to large to fit in your cart, please call Pellitteri Waste Systems at 608-257-4285, or visit www.pellitteri.com. To sign up for email alerts regarding service changes, please email info@pellitteri.com.
All recyclables are “Single-Sort”. Meaning, we can place all allowed recyclables into the recycling cart . There is no need to bag newspaper, just put recyclable items in the cart. All plastics marked with the recycling symbol can be placed in your cart
On collection day the carts need to be at the end of your driveway by 6:00 A.M., not in the road, not in front of snow banks. Just as with our other trash containers you have to be careful as to placement. The carts are to be 2 feet apart so the automated “arms” can have access, as well as 2 feet away from any fixed objects (mailboxes).
If there is a week with a holiday in it, the garbage will be picked up 1 day later than the normal pickup day.
Large Item Pickup
Residents must call Pellitteri Waste Systems at 608-257-4285 to schedule. Pickups may take place on a different day than normal trash carts are emptied.
