Other notes
- Bring your own trash bags of any brand/color; pay attendant per bag. Partial bags not prorated. This is different from towns that require branded bags or punch cards.
- Single-stream household recycling paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, magazines/cardboard must be loose, not bagged. Statutory list of items Wisconsin requires recycling is not proof this site accepts every special item such as tires/appliances/oil.
- Town currently marks leaf and brush piles OPEN. Conditions can change seasonally; confirm before a yard-waste trip. A brush pass is not a general trash permit.
- Detailed fee bands do not state prices for 6-9 gallon, 21-29 gallon or 41-54 gallonbags. Do not interpolate or call 55 gallontrash $3 just because headline says large $3.
- No human waste or dead animals accepted. Town contact address 5733 Highway 51 is not the transfer station. Actual site is half-mile north of downtown, off County W.
- Winter Saturday is explicitly open on both town and county sources. Short search summaries omitting Saturday are not the full winter schedule.
