Garbage and recycling carts should be placed together, with four (4) feet between them.
The dumpsters in various locations around the Village (including the garbage dumpster at the Village garage) are not for public dumping. Pursuant to Section 257-10 of the Municipal Code improper use of trash receptacles is prohibited. Additional garbage can be disposed of by contacting Pellitteri Waste Systems for a special pickup.
Unlimited amounts of recycling are allowed provided that you have a recycling cart (for single family and 2-4 family dwellings). A recycling cart may be ordered by contacting Pellitteri Waste Systems at 1-800-400-4285.
- Residents should only put approved recyclables in their recycling cart. For a current recycling list please visit https://www.pellitteri.com/pages/recycling-info-for-residential.
- Recycling carts with any visible trash or non-recyclables in them will be tagged with a notice of non-pickup due to contamination and not serviced.
- If you have additional recyclables that do not fit in your recycling cart, you may arrange to have it collected by first calling Pellitteri Waste Systems at (800) 400-4285. Please note there is a FEE for this service. Please do not place any additional recyclables outside your recycling cart without first contacting Pellitteri Waste Systems.
Help keep recycling materials “clean” by keeping non-recyclables out of the recycle cart. Contamination of recyclables is a growing problem, so we offer this tip sheet for what IS and what IS NOT recyclable.
Thank you for keeping New Glarus recyclables clean!
