RECYCLING

Posted at the community center are the solid waste, salvage, and disposal policies for the Brown County Port & Solid Waste Dept.   Their rates and fees are also posted (492-4950).   In addition, Heim Auto & Recycling (866-2688) at 5523 Luxemburg Rd., New Franken, accepts appliances for recycling, but those with freon, such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners need to be drained by a licensed technician.   Lead-acid batteries can be dropped off at our recycling center.   Inside the community center are handouts on what can and cannot be taken there.

Just about all you need to know about Wisconsin's recycling program is now a "click" away at http://dnr.wi.gov/org/aw/wm/recycle/.   WirelessRecycling.com allows individuals looking for a local drop-off point for used cell phones to do so by entering their zip code into the web sites zip code locator.

Open burning is the state's largest source of air pollution, the largest uncontrolled source of toxic dioxin emissions, and the No. 1 source of wildfires, according to the Dept. of Natural Resources.   The majority of dioxin intake to humans comes from food sources, and emissions from burn barrels land on feed crops and go into the bodies of farm animals.   Our waste streams contain plastic and other synthetic materials that are unsafe to burn.   Disposing of those solid waste materials in one's own back yard can cause pollution problems.

Remember to reflect when purchasing, reduce, replace, reuse or refill, repair, and recycle!

All controlled burns should be called into County Dispatch (448-4210).   If the Denmark Fire Department is dispatched to a controlled burn, the department will bill the responsible party.   A bill will be sent to the individual for the amount of time spent on this fire incident, and if compensation is not received in a timely manner, a second bill will be sent to the township.

FIRE NUMBERS
It has come to our attention certain problems relating to fire numbers.   Mainly, that they are not easily visible or numbers that have been removed.   Let us not forget the real purpose of the numbers.   They are quick reference in the time of emergency.   You know your numbers, but if a passer by has to report an emergency situation, less confusion means time saved.   The county emergency services (Police, Fire and Rescue) are all correlated for quick response.   So any time saved is very important.   The fire number must be placed near the driveway and be highly visible. The numbers are for your benefit and must be treated as such.

MANURE AND MUD ON ROADWAYS
If the Denmark Fire Department is dispatched by County 911 to flush manure or mud from the roadway, the Department will send the bill to the individual involved.   If compensation is not received in a timely manner, the Department will bill the township.
