Dear Residents of the Town of Wells,

 

            On behalf of the Town of Wells, I am writing to you to inform you of the recently approved changes by the Town of Wells board in the garbage pickup program that is currently taking place in the township. For many years there have been days set aside in each month to offer garbage pickup for its residents. On every second and fourth Wednesday of each month, the town’s patrolman would pick up garbage that was placed in a purchased Town of Wells garbage bag that was secured and placed at the end of the driveway of each residence. Every second and fourth Saturday of each month the town hall shop would be open to receive recyclables and purchase garbage bags at the site for $1/each for garbage pickup. During the June and July of 2021 town board meetings, the difficulties of garbage collections became an issue that was brought to the attention of the town board. It was noted that there have been many difficulties that have occurred while picking up garbage bags. There have been many times that the bags have been torn or unsecured in which some or all the contents have spilled out leaving the patrolman to clean it up. There are many overpacked and heavy bags that also need to be thrown by hand by one person into a truck box which is 5-8 feet off the ground. There are also many inconveniences due to the conflicts with weather conditions such as snowfall or ice on roadways which need to be plowed or deiced before travel on roads each morning. Only after the roads are cleared does the delayed garbage pickup route start and then is completed. There are also summer road projects that had to be worked around before and after the pickup of garbage route that cause a delay in the projects undertaken. This issue is also a safety issue as the patrolman is working alone, along the town roads, county roads and the state highway in some conditions that are endangering. At times the weather involves very low visibility and with oncoming traffic.

 After much consideration and discussion, on August 12th, 2021, the board voted 2-1, to approve of a change in the program, effective October 1st, 2021. A motion was made and approved that an 8-10-yard dumpster would be rented from the Modern Disposal Systems and would be brought to the town hall location of 11754 County Highway XX, Norwalk, WI 54648. Every Saturday, the covered dumpster would be open to the residents to receive garbage in the purchased Town of Wells bags. Garbage only would be allowed in each of the bags. There will be an attendant of garbage collections hired by the board of the Town of Wells on site from 8 a.m. until noon to supervise collections. The dumpster will be emptied weekly. Recyclables can also be brought to the townhall and can be placed in the proper dumpster for recyclables as usual but will be collected every Saturday also from 8 a.m. until noon.  A motion was made and approved by the board to increase the fee for each Town of Wells bag to $2/bag to help offset the increased expenses for hiring the attendant and increasing landfill disposal fees. The bags can be purchased at the town hall during the Saturday collection days for $2/ea.

There is also an option for town residents. Any resident can opt out of this program by contracting with the Modern Disposal Systems by calling 608-269-4300 or 608-269-2789 or 608-269-1113. The option is open to the residents that would choose to lease a small dumpster from Modern Disposal System instead. A small dumpster will be provided and placed at the end of the driveway of the resident by Modern Disposal Systems. Modern Disposal Systems will pick up and dispose of the garbage only at your expense. The Town of Wells bags will not need to be purchased in this contract with Modern Disposal Systems. Recycling collections will also continue to be taken at the town hall as usual from all residents on every Saturday.

 The Fall Large Item Garbage Collections Weekend will take place on Friday, October 1st, and Saturday October 2nd, 2021. Collection times are 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day. The board is open to public input or recommendations during this weekend concerning the changes. The Spring Large Item Garbage Collection weekend will continue to be during the last weekend of April of each year.

 Please call Dennis Hemmersbach at 608-823-7630 or cell #608-633-1860 for any other questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

 

The Town of Wells Board
