| KEEP YOUR CARTS CLEAR OF SNOW & ICE |
|
City of Milwaukee garbage and recycling collectors and their safety team ask for your help during snowy winter months. It
is extremely difficult to access garbage and recycling carts when they are stuck in snow piles or frozen to the ground.
Additionally, residents who do not provide a clear and unhindered path to garbage and recycling carts within 72 hours after a snowfall may be assessed a $25 fine. So, please be mindful of your collectors when you shovel your walks and driveways. Residents should also check to make that fire hydrants near your property are shoveled out to help the Milwaukee Fire Department have better access in case of fire. |
