Disposal of Christmas Trees

We were recently informed that GFL, Inc. will not be picking up trees as they have done so in the past. Our understanding is because the DNR is cracking down on yard waste in the landfills, "Wisconsin law generally prohibits landfill disposal of yard waste, including leaves, grass clippings, brush and pieces of wood (branches, sticks, etc.) under 6 inches in diameter. The yard waste disposal law has been in place since 1993." http://dnr.wisconsin.gov/newsroom/release/85696 

Ken Hinz, DPW, indicated that trees can be brought to the Town Recycling Center, 1st and 3rd Saturday from 8 to 1 pm (it will be open this weekend, January 6th). You must remove ALL lights, decorations, etc. before bringing the trees. If you have any questions please contact Ken at 262-492-2119.
