Trash & Recycling Updates

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 Village's Government Access Cable Channel 25.  Information is also available at Village Hall and Oscar Grady Library.

 

Electronic 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

           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.

 

To dispose of large items, such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances, you will 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.

 

The charge for refuse collection for one, two, and three-family residential properties is included as a separate line item on your property 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.
