Changes in Trash/Recycling Pickup
The Toter Carts Are Here!
The Toter carts have arrived. They were delivered to your home the week of
December 7th. If you haven’t received yourcarts, please contact the Town Hall
Office at 235-3789.
Beginning
December 14th, trash day for the entire town is on
Mondays.
We no longer have a Wednesday pickup.
The
first day to use the carts is Monday, December 14th.
This
day is also a recycling day for the north side of Omro Road north to the
lake. If you reside in this location, you are the circles on the 2010
recycling calendar.
December 21st
will be the first recycling day for those who live on the south side of Omro
Road south to the town line. You are
the squares on the 2010 recycling calendar.
This is also a
trash day for the entire town.
December
28th is a trash day for the entire town and a recycling day for those who
reside on the north side of Omro Road north to the lake. We then follow the
2010 recycling calendar located on page 4 of this newsletter.
A few reminders:
· Looking
to throw away your old garbage cans? Veolia will take it as long as the can is
clearly labeled “Please take” or something to that effect.
· Two
carts are needed per household
- 1 blue cart
for recycling
- 1 tan cart
for trash
· Veolia
will only pick up what is inside the cart. Any items set to the side of the
cart will
not be picked up.
· Veolia
will not pick up any large items, they must be taken to the county landfill by
the owner.
· Recyclables
are to be put into the blue recycling cart
loosely,
no more
blue bags.
· Garbage
bags can still be used for garbage.
· Plastic
grocery bags
should
not be placed with recyclables. Many
stores have containers where these plastic bags can be taken to or they can be
put in the trash.
· Paper
grocery bags should go in with the recyclables. Great to put shredded paper
in.
If you are not satisfied with your choice in
cart sizes, there will be a 90 day trade-in period. This trade-in period will
begin January 15th and will end April 15th, 2010. This program will allow you
to bring in your
clean cart and trade it in for a
different size as long as that size is available. The cost difference will be
either refunded to or paid by the resident depending on the trade-in value.
For example, if you trade-in a 45 gallon cart for a 65 gallon cart, the
difference in price is $1.00. You would be responsible for the dollar. Once
again the cost of the carts is as follows:
96 Gallon—$45.00
65 Gallon—$38.00
45 Gallon—$37.00
We will not allow cart trade-in on Election
Days; February 16th and April 6th.
Again, feel free to contact the Town Hall
Office with any questions you may have at 235-3789
