Equally and if not more important, THANK YOU to all the volunteers. Without you, this event could not happen. Join us for the next Clean-Up day on Saturday, October 26 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. Prescription drugs are collected at the Police Department.
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. A mobile collection site is open this Saturday, July 27 from 8am-2pm at Shorewood High School.
