Garbage Collection Services

Garbage and Recycling services are provided under a Town contract by GFL.
- GFL Phone Number: 920-983-3341.
Garbage collection is performed every Monday with recycling services provided every other Monday.

Please help to keep our neighborhoods clean by following these rules and helpful hints:

Garbage must be curbside by 6:00 a.m. on Monday (unless a holiday, see trash & recycling schedule). GFL will not return to retrieve your garbage if placed curbside after pick up. All carts shall be removed by 8:00 a.m. on the day following collection.
Only garbage placed inside the bin will be picked up; items placed alongside bins will not be collected.
Bag all garbage to be placed inside bins.
Be sure to bag packing materials such as packing peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.
The Town does not provide collection services of large items
- Contact GFL at 920-983-3341 to arrange for a pick up (additional fee)
- Brown County Port & Resource Recovery website offers information on how to dispose of items
Recycling is mandatory and if it is mixed with regular trash, it can be refused to be picked up.

Do NOT place the following items in your garbage bin:

Recyclable materials collected curbside – aluminum containers, corrugated paper and container board, glass containers, magazines, newspapers, office paper, junk mail and plastic containers #1 and #2
Yard waste including leaves and grass clippings
Steel containers, waste tires, and mixed beverage containers that are primarily made of steel and aluminum – these items must be disposed of properly

Curbside placement of bins:

Place the cart with the arrow on the lid pointing toward the street, but not in the road right-of-way.
Do not place the cart within three (3) feet of any object (five (5) feet would be ideal) and do not park any vehicles in front of the cart.
- If possible, please place the garbage cart on one side of the driveway and the recycling cart on the other side, but make sure your mailbox is accessible.
