Yard
Waste (Compost) Disposal
How do you get rid of garden waste, leaves and
lawn rakings from your yard clean-up? Wisconsin DNR strongly
recommends that these materials NOT be placed in the street.
Lawn clippings and yard waste must NOT be put in the street at any
time.
Place them in bags, buckets or other suitable containers
and bring them to the Village Compost Drop-off Site at the Public
Works Garage, 649 S. Main Street.
This site
is for Village of Saukville residents only.

Curbside Branch Chipping
The Village chipping crew will begin touring the Village starting
April 4, 2011 and continuing every Monday
through October 31, 2011 (no chipping holiday weeks).
-
Stack
branches (3" max.
diameter) neatly on the parkway (area between the sidewalk and
curb), with the cut ends of branches facing the street by 6:30 a.m. on Monday mornings.
-
DO NOT place branches
on the sidewalk or street where they would interfere with
pedestrians or vehicle traffic.
-
DO NOT place branches at curbside
sooner than the immediate preceding weekend. We DO NOT chip tree/bush
stumps.
-
No Compost
-
The chipping crew is limited to 20 minutes per address,
after which a $25.00 fee is charged for each additional 20 minute at
the property owner’s request. The owner will be billed for the
additional time beyond the first 20 minutes.
-
The crew will make only
one pass per side of the street per chipping event.
Due to the curbside chipping, the Village has a surplus of woodchips
available to residents. Residents can pick up woodchips at the
DPW yard waste site at 649 S. Main Street. You must bring your
own container and shovel or pitch fork. The Village will also
deliver woodchips, however, the resident must accept a full truck
load (3-5 yards) and the Village will not come back for unused
woodchips.
There is NO BRANCH/BRUSH DROP-OFF ACCEPTED AT THE COMPOST SITE.
Please call Village
Hall for more information.
Leaf Collection
Fall curbside leaf sweeping will begin October 3 and run
through November 30, 2011. Leaf collection is not
guaranteed. It will be done as time and weather permit.
We strongly suggest that you containerize your leaves and bring them
to the compost site before the compost closing date for the year.
If leaves are raked to the curb, please remember not to park
vehicles on or near the leaves so the truck can reach them.
Also, do not rake leaves into large/high piles. Long strips
along the curb-line are easiest for the Vac-all truck to collect.
Household Hazardous Material Disposal
Household hazardous materials are typically
comprised of paints, pesticides, waste oil, anti-freeze and typical
household cleaners. These materials must NOT be placed in the trash.
They can be taken to the Ozaukee County Hazardous Waste Collection
Site (information below). Fees will be charged on a per pound basis.

Trees
If you have a diseased, dead, or otherwise dangerous tree in your
parkway, call the Department of Public Works at 284-0545. In
addition, permission is required from the Superintendent of the
Public Works Department to plant, prune, cut or spray any trees or
shrubs located in the parkway.
Streets
To report holes or otherwise dangerous conditions in the Village
streets, phone the Department of Public Works at 284-0545 or the
Police Department at 284-0444. Hazardous or unsafe sidewalks should
also be reported to the Department of Public Works.
Disposal of Construction Materials
It is the responsibility of the contractor or
homeowner to provide for the storage and disposal of construction
materials. Waste materials must be stored in a manner to keep them
from view, prevent the attraction of vermin and keep light materials
from blowing in the wind. OPEN BURNING OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE IS
PROHIBITED IN THE VILLAGE! The spring clean-up dumpster is not for
the disposal of more than one cubic yard TOTAL for any construction
project. Likewise, the curbside trash pick-up provided by Violia
Environmental
Services is not for construction waste disposal other than small
amounts. There are several disposal contractors in the area that can
provide drop-off dumpster service and are the recommended avenue of
construction waste disposal. Dumpsters are not allowed to
be placed on the street. Materials may not be stored on the
street.
