This is reminder that Wisconsin law (s. 287.07(7)(cm), Wis. Stats.) now contains an exception to the general prohibition on the landfill disposal of yard materials. This limited exception is for the disposal of certain plants that are classified by the DNR as invasive species. These plants may be disposed of in landfills if separated from other yard materials that are subject to the disposal ban.
May and June are prime months for landowners, maintenance crews and volunteer groups to collect invasive plants for disposal. Common invasive plants removed during this time include garlic mustard, Dame’s rocket, buckhorn, honeysuckle, purple loosestrife and other nuisance plants. A list of species classified by the DNR as invasive is attached below.
You do not have to identify plants provided for disposal as being invasive plants. The DNR recommends that you label bags containing invasive species, e.g. “contains invasive plants” and allow the disposal of invasive plants. The DNR realizes this arrangement is not entirely foolproof but will help ensure that a reasonable disposal option is available for invasive plants without allowing the illegal disposal of other yard waste.
If you have questions, please contact WI DNR @ http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Invasives/contacts.html#terr.
