Garbage/Recycling Pick-up Guidelines

  • Garbage/recycling carts must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day, but no sooner than 6:00 p.m. the day before.
  • Residents must use the gray cart for garbage, and may use either the blue or green carts for recycling.
  • Garbage must be bagged and must fit in the garbage container so as to allow the lid to close.
  • Place single stream recyclables loosely in the recycling container with lid closed. Do not put plastic bags in the recycling bin.
  • Keep carts at least four (4) feet apart and four (4) feet from any fixed structure (mailbox, trees, cars, utility poles, etc.).
  • Remove carts from the curb by midnight on your collection day.
  • When not at the curb, carts may not be stored in front of any building, house, or garage visible from the street.

Damaged Garbage/Recycling Carts

It is the responsibility of the property owner to replace damaged carts by purchasing a new one from the Village.

Carts were originally purchased by the Village for each residential property in 2004. They have exceeded their life expectancy and after years of regular use, frigid temperatures and harsh sunlight, the carts are beginning to break down. Going forward, it is the responsibility of the property owner to purchase a new one from the Village.

The cost of a new bin is $70.00 each. They can be purchased here or in person at Village Hall. Once paid for, they will be delivered to you.

Is This Recyclable?

Betterbin and the Waste Wizard are online recycling resources provided by Tri-County Recycling. They take the guesswork out of recycling by providing a local search engine to determine if and how an item is recycled in Brown County.
