The Village of Saukville currently uses roll out trash and recycling carts
for all residential households disposal.
Trash and recycling will continue to be collected on Thursdays (Fridays during a
holiday week) and must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on pick-up day; however,
recycling will be collected only every other week.
Carts must face the street as indicated by the arrow on the cart, must be
fully accessible, and must be placed with a minimum of three (3) feet of space
between carts and/or other obstacles. The recycling collection dates are posted on this website under the Navigation
menu, 'Recycling Collection' link, and can also be found on the

devices cannot be disposed of in your household trash cart. These devices
include, but are not limited to:
-
Computers, monitors,
printers, and peripherals
-
Televisions and video
screens
-
Fax machines and
photocopiers
-
VCR and DVD players
-
Telephones with video
displays
The nearest collection center
for disposal of these items is:
Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC
1275 Mineral Springs Drive, Port Washington
Hours: Mondays - 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
262-243-8998
There will be a fee charged for
disposal.
All
recyclable materials (paper, plastic, glass, metal) can be placed in the same
recycle cart; there is no need to separate. Residents are urged not to
place trash loosely in trash carts as this will lead to odor and pest problems as
well as blowing materials when the carts are emptied. Any trash or recyclable
materials placed curbside in any container other than the carts
will not be
collected.
Large item pick-up service has not changed. To dispose of large items, such as
furniture, mattresses, and appliances, you still need to arrange for special
pick-up by Veolia, or you can take items to the Veolia drop-off site at 803 N.
River Road, West Bend.
There is a fee for large item disposal. Contact Veolia directly
(1-800-387-0949)
for prices and information.
Residents
generating large amounts of refuse should also arrange for special pick-up in
advance before placing trash curbside, or arrange for dumpster service.
Please note, due to
changing financial circumstances and budgetary constraints, the Village Board
has determined that it is necessary to charge a separate fee to one, two, and
three-family residential properties for the cost of garbage and recycling
collection. This charge is included as a separate line item on the tax
bill. The charge is for your next
year's garbage and
recycling collection.

Flooding Response Policy
The Village
Board of the Village of Saukville on March 19, 2008 established the
following Flooding Response Policy:
“Preventative
measures for avoiding or minimizing flood damages generally are
limited to deployment of sand bags. Other than the generally
recognized function of a municipality to take reasonable steps to
promote public safety, health and welfare within its jurisdiction,
there are no established policies/protocols regarding the protection
of privately owned structures (e.g., homes, businesses, etc.) from
flooding. Consequently, private property owners must bear primary
responsibility for the protection of their property, and should not
rely on the village to assume that obligation.”
In view of
limited or over-extended resources in the event of a flood
emergency, the Village has determined that the most effective use of
village resources will be to protect public facilities, give the
earliest notification possible to property owners, and to provide
for sale available materials such as sand bags, at cost, to property
owners.
Owners of
properties that are susceptible to flooding are encouraged to check
with their insurance agent to determine if they have adequate flood
coverage, and to take such other precautions and preparations as
deemed appropriate.
If you have any
questions please contact Dawn Wagner, Village Administrator, or Jack
Morrison, Emergency Management Director at (262)284-9423.
Dog and Cat Licenses
All Village of Saukville residents owning a cat or dog older than 6
months are required by Village Ordinance to purchase a
license. Proof of current rabies vaccination is required for
licensing. Licenses purchased after March 31 will be assessed a late penalty of $5.00 for dog licensing and $3.00 for cat
licensing.
Dog
License fees:
Cat License fees:
$8.00 spayed or neutered $5.00 spayed or
neutered
