Waste Management Garbage and Recycling Schedule

Town of Neshkoro

In an effort to increase efficiency and save costs, the Town of Neshkoro has contracted with Waste Management to utilize wheeled carts for the curbside disposal of garbage and recyclable materials.  Waste Management has provided 96-gallon garbage carts and 64-gallon recycling carts for this purpose.

• Garbage pickup schedule remains the same as before, with a weekly pickup performed every Monday, except when that Monday is also a federal holiday. In that case, both garbage and recycling pickup will be completed the next day.
• Recycling pickup is every other week. The Town of Neshkoro is divided into Green and Gold zones as indicated on the calendar.  On Green Weeks the area south of the Village of Neshkoro and East and West of Hwy 73 will be picked up.  On Gold Weeks the area North of the Village and East of Hwy 73 will be picked up.
• Recycling and garbage pickup no longer happen at the same time. Garbage is picked up first and brought to the Berlin facility.  Recycling is collected later and brought to the Fond du Lac facility.  If you find your recycling has not been picked up yet and you are sure it is the right day for your pickup, just wait a while.
• Garbage and recyclable materials must be in the carts, not in bags or piles beside the carts. While it is recommended that garbage is continued to be placed in bags before disposal, please do not put recyclables in plastic bags.
• Carts must be at least 3 feet apart and at least 3 feet away from any other object (I.e., mailboxes). All carts should be placed at the road with the handles facing the house.  If you are having problems with slopes or the wind, simply rotate the cart a quarter-turn, placing the handles toward the wind.
• Weight limit for both carts is 225 pounds.
