How can residents improve their recycling efforts?

Please review Back to Basics - Curbside Recycling Pickup for details to improve the village's recycling efforts.

When is garbage picked up?

Every Wednesday of the month by Pellitteri Waste Systems.

If a holiday falls on pick up day, when should I put out the garbage/recyclable containers?

Garbage/recycling will be picked up the day after the holiday.  New Years Eve and Christmas Eve are not considered holidays, so garbage/recycling will be picked if it is a regular pick up day.

When are recyclables picked up?

Every other Wednesday.

When do I have to have garbage/recyclables to the curb?

Before 7 AM of the scheduled collection day.

Where should I put the garbage/recyclable containers?

Please place your containers with the lid opening towards the street with a minimum of three feet between each container and other objects (car, tree etc.). 

What should I do if I have garbage or recycling that doesn't fit in the carts?

Please place extra recycling in clear bags (up to 32 gallon and no more than 50 pounds) and place the bags next to your recycling cart. This includes cutting down cardboard boxes to fit in those bags (please do not bundle or place in a bigger box). Most places that sell garbage bags also sell clear bags. Clear bags may be tinted in color, like blue or green, which is acceptable as well as long as the bags are transparent. If you choose to bag the recyclables inside your cart, please use these bags as well.

Please do not overload your carts; the lids should be closed. If you consistently have more material than you can fit in your cart with the lid closed, please contact Pellitteri to discuss cart size or additional cart options.

Note: You MUST have a cart out in order for Pellitteri to stop.  

What should I do if my cart pickup is missed?

Call Pellitteri at 1-800-400-4285 or (608) 257-4285 or email them at info@pellitteri.com.
