Recycling Information

The official recycling drop-off center is the Juneau County Landfill on County Hwy. B and Ceylon Rd.

These guidelines must be followed:

• Materials must be sorted separately. Do not co-mingle materials together in the same bag.
• The drop-off site will now have bins for:
  1. Garbage: Everything non-recyclable (except demolition and white goods
  2. Plastics: PET 1 & 2 containers, i.e. milk jugs, soda bottles (no tarps, toys, tools, cottage cheese, egg cartons or styrofoam)
  3. Cardboard: Corrugated boxes (no styrofoam or plastic packing materials)
  4. Paper: Non-corrugated boxes, junk mail, newsprint, anything made of paper (paper towels, tissues, or wax
  coated items)
  5. Tin: Empty, clean food tins without labels
  6. Aluminum: Beverage containers and foil (not siding or lawn chairs)
  7. Glass: Anything made entirely of glass (no window glass, ceramics, china, light bulbs or TV tubes)
• There is also a compost bin for leaves and grass clippings.
• Pay by the bag for garbage only if you want to do so; otherwise the tipping fee applies. A $.50 tag can be purchased for a 13-gallon kitchen size bag. A 30-gallon lawn & leaf size bag will require two tags. Buy tags from the landfill (recyclables are still free). You may also contract for garbage pickup with an independent hauler.
• You will be required to register EVERY TIME you use the site, not just once per year.
• The drop-off site is on County Hwy B, New Lisbon, open Monday-Friday 8:00am-3:00pm and Saturday 8:00am- 12:00pm.
• Recycling will still be free to CRAM participants; garbage will still cost you!
• There is a small fee charged for the following items:
  1. Auto and household batteries: $.03/lb
  2. Used tires (any size): $0.10/lb
  3. Used oil: $0.03/lb. All oil must be in containers with screw covers; prefer milk jugs, clear 5-gallon containers. No drums!
  4. Microwaves, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, televisions and computer screens: $15.00 fee plus $0.03/lb
  5. Hot water heaters, air conditioners, washers, dryers, scrap metal, stoves, furnaces: $0.03/lb
• E-Waste -printers, keyboards, computers, hard drives: 0.03/lb

If you see anyone littering town roads, check for the license number and type of vehicle and report it to any Town Official. Persons found guilty of littering receive substantial fines.

Public Peace & Good Order Ordinance

In September 2002, Juneau County Board of Supervisors updated several ordinances, including Chapter 9.06 Minimum Standards for Unlicensed Junk Accumulations.

If you would like to file a complaint against a suspect property, please contact a Town Official in order to fill out a complaint form. Complaints can be filed anonymously. The situation will be investigated and addressed at the Town level, if possible. If resolution is unable to be made at the Town level, the complaint will be turned over to the County for handling.
