We were also able to donate over $1,400 to the Make a Wish Foundation and 5 - 96 gallon bins worth of food to the Hunger Task Force. Thanks for donating to these great causes!
The Village is always working to make this event is the best it can be so be sure to share your feedback with us through the clean up day survey. Join us for the next Clean-Up day on Sunday, July 14 from 10 am- 3 pm. Also, don't forget that you can recycle many items at Village Hall everyday during regular office hours. You can drop off electronics, batteries, ink cartridges, and light bulbs.
Unfortunately, the Village is not able to collect household hazardous waste. The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District offers opportunities for Milwaukee County residents to dispose of household hazardous waste. |
