Statement from Village President Chris Zellner

The Village is aware of public feedback regarding the TWall development concept for Main Street between West and Fish Streets. Concerns have been raised by the public through an online petition, social media, and other sources. This feedback is appreciated and timely, as this proposal is only in the very early stages of consideration. To date no formal action has occurred nor is further action scheduled. The Plan Commission has only received a concept presentation from TWall on December 11, 2017. It is important for the public to be aware that, should consideration of this proposal proceed, a public hearing would be required in order to rezone the properties. We remind all that meeting agendas and minutes are posted on the Village website https://onbase.waunakee.com/onbaseagendaonline. Agendas are also published in the Waunakee Tribune and posted in public locations.

Holiday Trash and Recycling

The holidays are a time for giving, but they can also generate a lot of extra waste. While it’s always better to try to reduce the amount of waste we create, having extra after the holidays is almost inevitable. Below are some guidelines on how to deal with those items.

 

The following seasonal items can be placed in your blue Pellitteri Recycling cart:

• Gift boxes
• Wrapping and tissue paper (NOT the foil-type)
• Cardboard wrapping paper tubes 
• Paper greeting cards (NO photo paper please) and gift tags
• Envelopes
• Cardboard (flatten, cut down to 4’ x 4’ sections or smaller)

Other items that can be recycled elsewhere:

• Christmas trees – will be picked up by the Village (does not pertain to private streets) 
• Christmas lights and electrical cords – drop off at Waunakee Neighborhood Connection - 208 S. Century Avenue
• Styrofoam – #6 polystyrene (NO packing peanuts) can be dropped off at Uniek, Inc. in Waunakee - 805 Uniek Drive

Did You Know?  Additional recycling can be placed in a clear garbage bag (available at Ace Hardware) and placed next to your blue recycling cart. Pellitteri will pick this up at no charge with your regular recycling.

 

Special trash tags can be purchased for extra garbage that doesn’t fit in your brown trash cart. The tags are $15 for a sheet of 5 and are available at Village Hall - 500 West Main Street.
