For more information, please call 832-6468. neigHborHood Pride Program Nominations for the June 2011 walter Kalata neighborhood Pride awards are now being accepted.

If you would like to submit a nomination(s) for the Neighborhood Improvement Category or the meticulous maintenance category, simply submit forms online from the City’s website via Quicklinks at www.appleton.org or pick up forms at City Hall (1st floor Information Desk) or the Appleton Public Library.

If you have questions regarding any aspect of the Program, please call 832-5996. terrace Planting information Thinking of landscaping the terrace (the area between the sidewalk and the street)? Special plantings in the terrace area require a “Street Occupancy Permit” so that safety and ordinance issues can be addressed. The permit must be requested for plants in excess of 3 feet in height, hedges, rocks, railroad ties, loose stone, mulch or sand surfaces and vegetable plants. The permit needs the approval of the Municipal Services Committee and the Common Council. For questions or to request a permit, contact the Department of Public Works at 832-6474. For tree planting and other terrace tree maintenance concerns, contact the City Forestry Division at 832-5580. mailbox Placement Proper mailbox placement is important for City crews as well as postal carriers. Snowplows, street sweepers and garbage trucks can damage mailboxes that extend over the road. Please check your mailbox to make sure that it is in compliance with Post Office guidelines. Mailboxes should be installed at a height of 42-48 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry, and set back 8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door. Where there is no curb, the height of the mailbox should be 48 inches from the top of the ground to the bottom of the mailbox. The City of Appleton will not be responsible for any mailbox damaged in the course of City operations that does not meet the above requirements. rummage sale signs To help keep our city looking good and to comply with City ordinance, we would like to make you aware of proper sign placement. Advertisement signs, including rummage sale signs, are not to be placed within the terrace area, on the sidewalk or on telephone or utility poles. water Hydrant flusHing The Public Works Department will again be flushing hydrants this spring and fall. Water mains are the big pipes that bring fresh water to your home. Flushing removes natural minerals, like iron, which are harmless but can discolor your water. If you see crews working in your area, please try to use as little, or if possible no water for an hour. Allowing the water to settle ensures that you won’t draw discoloration into your water system. Dates will be announced when available through public service announcements, newspaper ads and the City’s website at www.appleton.org. Questions? Please call 832-5580. Ca-49 appleguide spr/sum 2011.indd 6 3/1/11 11:13:25 aM appleSource Solid WaSte diSpoSal/ColleCtionS GARBAGE COLLECTION is done weekly from City-supplied garbage containers. Please check www.appleton.org “My Neighborhood” for collection dates specific to your address. Place your City garbage container out for collection the night before your scheduled collection day (between 5 p.m and 3 a.m.) with the handle facing your house. Do not place your container within 5 feet of any object on the terrace or park your vehicles in front of a container. Because of safety concerns, never place a container in the road. Containers should be returned to their point of storage before midnight the day of collection. Please use plastic bags for items inside of City garbage containers. Any bags that cause the lid not to close on City garbage containers are considered overflow refuse (see next section). If your automated container is too small, too large or needs repair, call 832-5580. OVERFLOW REFUSE is defined as garbage or trash that would normally fit into the City-supplied garbage container. Because garbage container charges are based on volume, bagged garbage or trash that doesn’t fit in your container must be marked with a disposal tag. Bags should weigh less than 45 pounds. Up to 2 bags of overflow are collected each week with a $2 collection sticker. Put overflow refuse approximately 4 to 5 feet from garbage containers. Overflow stickers should be attached to bags so as to be visible to drivers. If you are moving or just cleaning out, you may request a special collection. A fee is charged. Call 832-5580 for details.

The decision for storm pickup is determined on a storm-by-storm basis and is determined by evaluating the severity and widespread extent of the damage. HAZARDOUS WASTE – CLEAN SWEEP – Some wastes are too hazardous for landfills and require special disposal through the Outagamie County “Clean Sweep” Program. Hazardous wastes include: pesticides, herbicides, rodent baits, acids and alkalines, lead-based paints, batteries and Ca-49 appleguide spr/sum 2011.indd 8 some cleaning materials. This program is limited to households only. An appointment is required. For further information, call Outagamie County at 832-5277 (option #3) or check their website at www.RecycleMoreOutagamie.org. PAINT – Latex-based paint cans can be put in your garbage container after lids are removed and the paint has dried out. If you want to speed up the drying process, add sand or cat litter to the paint. Any oil-based paint or paint containing lead should be turned in to the “Clean Sweep” Program. MEDICAL SHARPS – Under Wisconsin law, sharps must be treated before disposal. Sharps users are encouraged to take their used or discarded unused sharps to a registered “sharps collection station” located at Appleton Medical Center and St. Elizabeth Hospital emergency rooms and Consumer Prescription Center. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS & OTHER MEDICINES – May be disposed of at the Appleton Police Station lobby at 222 South Walnut Street. For more information, visit www.ocdrugdrop.org. disPosing of mercury The Department of Natural Resources regulates the Appleton Wastewater Treatment Plant for mercury levels in the plant discharge prior to entering the Fox River. To prevent mercury from reaching the Fox River, please remember that mercury should never be poured down a drain or sewer, flushed down a toilet or thrown in the trash. Mercury and mercury-containing items (e.g., thermometers, thermostats and barometers) should be taken to the Hazardous Waste Clean Sweep facilities for recycling (fees may apply). Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) contain small amounts of mercury. Some area hardware stores accept CFLs at no charge. For more information, please contact the Appleton Wastewater Treatment Plant at 832-5945 or visit the Outagamie County Solid Waste and Recycling website at www.RecycleMoreOutagamie.org. tree for a tree seedling PicKuP Thanks to those of you who participated in this year’s “Tree for a Tree” program.
