Yard Waste Checkup

While you're out and about bringing your items to the Village's Clean Up Day, make sure you get all of your yard waste items out to the curb as well. Beginning on Monday, the Village will again be collecting yard waste throughout the community.
Don't want to wait until your next yard waste collection day? Stop over at the Village's yard waste drop off site located off of Fairy Chasm Road, which is open 24 hours a day.

| Property Maintenance is in Full Effect | | |
Spring is here, and that means that the Village's property maintenance program is in full effect. The most frequent complaints the Village receives are;
- Unkempt lawns
- Unenclosed storage (trailers, toys, etc)
- Fences in disrepair
- Dead trees
Village staff works diligently to make sure all violations are quickly addressed; however we are unable to visit each property consistently. If you notice an issue in your neighborhood, please use the Report a Concern application on the Village's website. Have more questions about the property maintenance program? Check out the Property Maintenance Guide for more information.

The Final Countdown to Dispatch
| | We are closing in on the completion of the Bayside Communication Center. The Villages of Bayside, River Hills, Fox Point, and Brown Deer will be transitioning to the new center in the second week of May, while the southern North Shore communities of Glendale, Whitefish Bay, and Shorewood will switch over in the following weeks. The North Shore Fire Department  will be transitioning their dispatching services over after that.
Take a look at the progress of the Bayside Communications Center interior and exterior construction progress since the ground breaking ceremony back in November 2011 at the Village's photo gallery.
Village crews are also in the process of landscaping the area surrounding the addition area. Crews will be laying grass seeds, constructing berms, and planting trees and shrubs in the coming weeks.
