My neighbor’s grass hasn’t been cut in a long time, who do I contact?
Village code states that grass cannot be longer than 5 inches. The Village encourages neighbors to communicate in order to prevent possible disagreements. You may contact the Police Department at 414-206-3916 if issues remain unresolved.
How do I get my branches or brush picked up?
Branches up to 6 inches in diameter and no longer than 5 feet in length may be placed at the edge of the road for collection. Branches should be neatly stacked, and cuts ends parallel to the road. Piles bigger than 5’x5’x10′ require a Special Pick-Up.
When can I rake leaves to the side of the road?
In the fall, leaves must be raked into a single pile at the side of the road. Please do not mix leaves with other yard waste or rake leaves into the road. Piles that include material other than leaves WILL NOT be collected.
