As of January 1, 2004 the City will no longer provide roadside brush pickup due to budget considerations. Please check your local yellow pages for a list of providers under "Landscape Services" or "Tree Services". The City cannot recommend a provider.
The State does not allow these items in landfills; therefore your refuse hauler cannot take them. You can either have a private landscape contractor handle your needs or the City has a recycling site on Bonniwell Road (between Green Bay Road and Cedarburg Road), where you can take the material yourself. A $25.00 annual permit is needed and can be purchased in the Finance Department at City Hall. Please see the current Brush and Yard Waste Disposal Center Brochure for specific dates the site is open.
Wood chips and mulch, when available, can be picked up by any City homeowner at our brush-recycling site. See location under "grass clippings/yard waste." All you need is a driver's license to prove residency.
Yes, at the Bonniwell brush-recycling site.
