Snow Storm Cart Placement:
During winter months refuse and recycling carts should continue to be placed within 3 feet of the curb or alley edge and 3 feet from any side or rear obstruction, including other carts, trees, garage, fence, or any other elements.
In the event of snow, Residents are encouraged to utilize their driveway apron or clear a portion of their parkway for cart placement. Snow and ice must be cleared around the cart(s) as well as the lid. Please do not place your refuse and recycling carts in the street during the winter months as it can affect proper snow removal by our village snow plow crews.

Did you know? With aging can come increased mobility challenges, especially when citizens are on certain medications and/or live in wintry climates like Wisconsin. Completing an individualized mobility plan, such as the one recently released by the CDC can help older adults plan for mobility changes similar to the way that many plan financially for retirement.
The MyMobility Plan provides resources and tips for older adults to help maintain mobility, make their homes safer to prevent falls, and consider alternative transportation options as they age so they can stay safe, mobile, and independent longer. To download the MyMobility plan:
