Pellitteri – No Trash & Recycling Pickup on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day : No Trash & Recycling Pickup on Christmas Day and New Year's Day  We will be closed on Wednesday, December 25th, and Wednesday, January 1st, in observance of Christmas and New Year's Day. All curbside residential pick-ups will be delayed by one day both weeks for residents serviced Wednesdays-Fridays. Monday and Tuesday routes will not be delayed. Our office will be closing at 11 a.m. on Christmas Eve. Pickup services may continue after that time, however. Since collection routes may be serviced differently, your pick-up time may be altered. As always, please make sure to have your carts out by the time designated by your community (click here for more information). General Reminders  During or after inclement winter weather, please keep your carts accessible by clearing the area of snow and ice to ensure service. Please do not place carts on top of snow piles or in the street. You may need to shovel out areas for your carts just like you do for mail delivery. Please make sure your cart is at the curb by your designated pickup time on your scheduled pickup day or the night before. Pickup times vary from week to week. Please make sure the lids on your carts are closed to reduce wind-blown litter or material falling out when the cart is being emptied. Placing your trash in bags before putting it in your cart for normal pickup helps to cut down on wind-blown litter and allows for easier clean-up if carts tip over. For recyclables, use only clear or see-through plastic bags. (Recyclable items placed in black bags will not be recycled. See our website for more details about recycling contamination.) Be sure to place carts at least 4 feet away from each other and any other obstructions (mailboxes, trees, cars, etc.). Do not place carts in the street. The best placement for carts is on opposite sides at the end of the driveway or on the grass within two feet of the street. Carts will not be collected if they are improperly placed or overflowing (lid is not shut).

Dane County Community History Project

The Dane County Department of Planning and Development and the Dane County Heritage Preservation Commission are pleased to announce the Dane County Community History Project.  This is an ongoing, crowdsourced online portal documenting people, place and events important to various communities within Dane County.  From public suggestions, the Dane County Heritage Preservation Commission will select several sites appropriate for installation of physical historical markers, with a focus on communities under-represented in the existing historical record.  Look for future announcements about the Heritage Preservation Commission’s upcoming public hearing, where nominators can speak about their proposals.

 

We’ve received 42 nominations for historic sites in our 2024 nomination cycle, including suggestions representing indigenous Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, women, and the LGBTQ+ community and including sites in cities, villages and towns throughout Dane County.  Take a look at a timeline and an interactive map to see what your neighbors have identified as important to Dane County’s history.  Is something missing?  Have an idea for a site that should be commemorated that’s important to your community?  Let us know, by filling out our online submittal form.

Thanks for all you do to support cultural resource planning in Dane County!  If you have questions or need more information, please contact me at the address below.
