SPRING YARD WASTE PICK-UP
This year's Spring Yard Waste Pick Up will begin the week of May 7, 2012. Have leaves, un-bagged thatch, grass, clippings, pine needles and brush less than six (6) inches in diameter, placed on the shoulder the day before your normal refuse pickup. If you have curb and gutter please place yard waste in the gutter. Yard waste should be placed in rows and should not exceed 5 feet in width.

Piles are to be placed so as to be clear of power poles, trees and mailboxes for ease of pickup. Brush is to be kept SEPARATE from yard waste and placed at roadside with stump ends of limbs placed in same direction, parallel to road.

If yard waste cannot be reached by the Village's machines it will then be the responsibility of the resident to dispose of the waste .

After the roadside collection, leaves and all pre-mentioned items can be brought to the Village's yard waste site (free of charge) located at 8200 Ryan Street (1/4 mile south of Weston Avenue on the west side). When bringing items to the waste site, please remove leaves from bags and dispose of the bags in the provided container.

Electronic Recycling
Wisconsin's electronics recycling law was signed by Governor Doyle in October 2009 as Act 50. The law establishes a statewide program, now called the E-Cycle Wisconsin program, to collect and recycle certain electronic devices. It is based on a product stewardship approach, which assigns primary responsibility for collection and recycling to the manufacturer. The law also bans certain electronics from Wisconsin landfills and incinerators after September 1, 2010.

All Wisconsin residents are affected by a prohibition on disposing of designated electronics in a landfill or incinerator after September 1, 2010. Beginning January 1, 2010, Wisconsin households, K-12 public schools and Milwaukee Parental Choice program schools are eligible to recycle certain electronics under E-Cycle Wisconsin.

To find out more information or to find a electronic recycler near you please visit the DNR E-Cycle Wisconsin website.

Oil Filter and Absorbents Recycling
Starting January 1, 2011 the Marathon County Landfill will be offering a new recycling opportunity for residents. They will be adding oil filters and absorbents to their list of acceptable recyclable items. This new service comes in response to a new state law, 2009 Wisconsin Act 86, that bans used automotive engine oil filters and oil absorbent materials (paper toweling, rags, granular kitty litter type absorbents etc.) from Wisconsin landfills as of 1/1/11. No individual or group is exempt. The ban applies to everyone in the state including individuals, farmers, businesses, commercial or industrial facilities and other organizations. This includes oil filters from snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles and tractors as well as cars and trucks. For more information on the ban, please visit the DNRs website on this topic. The landfill is located at R18500 E. Highway 29 in Ringle. For more information or recycling questions, please call their info hotline at 877-270-3989.

Get the Lead Out Program
Marathon County residents beginning in April 2009 can bring their lead fishing tackle in to the MC Hazardous Waste Collection Facility during any normal collection weekend and exchange them for blister packs of lead-free tackle. One lead sinker or jig head or a couple of lead shot can kill an adult loon, eagle, or swan from lead poisoning. For more information please check out the following:
