RECYCLING

The hour of operation at the Town of Peshtigo Recycling Center, located at W1945 Old Peshtigo Road are the 2nd, 4th and 5th Saturdays of the month from 8:30am to 12:30pm and the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays of the month, from 12:30pm to 4:30pm.

The Recycling Center now accepts: tires, appliances and air conditioners with Freon, stoves, microwaves, washers, dryers, any kind of metal including siding and soffits (no motor vehicles), televisions, automotive oil (no cooking oil or antifreeze), paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminum, tin, batteries, bagged garbage and yard waste.  State regulations prohibit us from accepting paint or other hazardous materials.  Computers can be taken to Goodwill Industries on Roosevelt Road (County T) in Marinette.

 

An attendant will be on duty to collect fees.  Individuals dropping off appliances and other large items will be required to provide proof of town residency.

For safety sake, doors must be removed from refrigerators and freezers. Residents no longer need to separate plastic, glass, aluminum and tin. The following minimal charges apply to Town of Peshtigo residents. $1.50 for each bag of garbage. $1.00 per car and light truck tire, $2.00 with a rim. $6.00 per semi-tire and large farm tractor tire. $20.00 for each appliance which contains or contained Freon.

Residents who wish to rid their property of unlicensed vehicles, but have no means of removing them from the site can call Dave Malke at 920-213-1681 for vehicle removal.

Town residents using burn barrels to dispose of household garbage are reminded that only the materials that are allowed to be open burned, namely: leaves, plant clippings, paper and cardboard are to be burned. Plastics, asphalt, rubber and other man-made materials generate hazardous air pollutants and should not be burned in a burn barrel. Residents doing so may be fined by the WDNR.  An annual Burning Permit is required for burn barrel use.

The Town of Peshtigo has an ordinance regarding roadside dumping with a $100 reward after arrest and conviction. Should you see someone dumping along the roadside take their license number and call the Town Hall at 582-4332.

Waste Management is a private contractor, that is contracted by residents of the Town of Peshtigo for waste pickup.  Anyone seeing items blowing off of their trucks is to call Waste Management at 906-863-4502 with road name, time of day and truck number or license number.
