The new vendor that Waukesha County selected had problems keeping up with the collections and each community had to suspend their collection efforts. Staff has been working with Waukesha County to bring on a new vendor for 2016 and we are looking at other cost effective alternatives to provide our residents opportunities to recycle these items. A County-wide media campaign will be utilized to inform our residents of the new process for collecting of these materials. In the meantime, please refer to www.waukeshacounty.gov/recycling for collection options. RECYCLE RIGHT—QUALITY MATTERS! Did you know… Village of Hartland residents recycled 726 ton of material in 2014 While Waukesha County residents have always been diligent with recycling, there has been an increase in non-recyclable material (“residue”) entering the new Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). For over 20 years, this residue rate averaged 3.5% but that recycling system required residents to separate paper/cardboard from bottles/cans at the curb (blue bin). Other examples of residue that pose a serious danger to MRF workers, or has caused damage to the new processing equipment at the MRF, include scrap metal such as brake rotors, tires, electronics and medical waste. While often made of recyclable material, none of these items should ever be placed in home recycling containers. The new single-sort recycling system (all recyclables mixed together) is much more convenient for residents, however, the residue rate at the MRF is now over 10%, which is costly and sometimes dangerous. For proper disposal or recycling of these items, check out the County’s recycling web site at: www.waukeshacounty.gov/recycling Recently, two small fires at the MRF were caused by exploding gas cylinders that residents included in their curbside recycling containers. The fires were quickly controlled but it demonstrates the risks associated with contamination of acceptable curbside recyclables. While made of steel, compressed propane cylinders cannot be placed in a home recycling container because of the high risk of explosion and fire when compressed into large bales to prepare for market. Preventing contamination of home recyclables is imperative to maximize program revenues, reduce residue disposal costs (up to $80/ton), ensure worker safety, and protect the large public investment in new recyclable processing equipment. For more information including a printable list of items that are acceptable and not acceptable for the home recycling container, please visit the County web site noted above or call (262) 896-8300.

Both refuse and recycling is collected from all households curbside on Tuesdays. Refuse/garbage is collected weekly from the container provided while recyclable materials are collected every other week. The 2015 garbage/ recycling calendar on the Village’s website shows recycling dates as either Week A or Week B. Locate your street on the correct recycling map to verify your pickup dates. Residential property owners are required to bring the carts to the curb by 6:30 a.m. on collection days. All garbage and recycling materials must be kept separate and placed inside their respective cart.

Households that are physically unable to move the containers to the curbside are encouraged to contact the Village. DRUG COLLECTION In order to reduce substance abuse, prevent childhood poisonings and help protect our environment, citizens may bring their unwanted or unused prescription or over-the-counter medications, sprays, inhalers, ointments, creams, vials, herbals, or pet medications to the Village Hall 24 hours every day for disposal. Illegal drugs/paraphernalia are also accepted with no questions asked. Green containers are available just inside both the east and west lobbies of Village Hall for the collection of these items. You may also use the main Police Department lobby to drop off items during normal business hours. Please do not drop off any hazardous materials or waste such as household cleaners, paint etc. or any items containing or exposed to bodily fluids.

EDITION 14 FALL 2015 Page 3 HOUSE NUMBERS Municipal Ordinance 78-30 specifically states that all residential and business buildings must have the address clearly posted on the street side of the structure, with numbers being no less than 2 1/2 inches in height (suggested to be reflective). This is primarily for safety reasons so that the Police or Fire Department may find the property in an emergency. Keep in mind that the 911 system tracks to an address and dispatches the correct police and fire agencies. Please make sure the numbers are clearly posted and visible from the street, usually posted near a doorway.

BURNING PERMITS The Village does not allow any open burning except recreational fires such as small campfires on private property or small fires confined to burning pits. Recreational fires can be no more than three feet in diameter with flames that do not reach higher than three feet from the base of the fire. These fires also must be at least 15 feet from any type of building or structure, landscape items such as a tree, bush or fence or any combustible materials and must be surrounded by non-combustible materials such as concrete, rock or cement block. A burning permit must be applied for prior to burning. Fire Department personnel will inspect the area prior to issuance of the permit to ensure safety. The cost for a burning permit is $20 and is good for two years. Burning permits are available at the Fire Department, 150 Lawn St., weekdays between 6:00 am and 4:00 pm. The form is also available on the Village’s website www.villageofhartland.com EDITION 14 FALL 2015 Page 5 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK—OCTOBER 4-10, 2015 Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom. Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep? Smoke alarms save lives and are a key part of a home fire escape plan. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly. In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! When it comes to smoke alarms, it’s about “location, location, location”. Smoke alarms should be installed inside every bedroom and outside each sleeping area. Smoke alarms should be connected so when one sounds, they all sound. Most homes do not have this level of protection. → Large homes may need extra smoke alarms. → It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound. → Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working. → There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms are more responsive to smoldering fires. It is best to use both types of alarms in your home. → A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet from the stove. → People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers. → Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old. → Check your smoke alarm batteries! When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected, or dead. SAFETY TIPS → → Install smoke alarms inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement. While not required, it is highly recommended that residents install heat and/or smoke detectors in garages. Take steps now to keep you and your family safe from fire. CANDLE SAFETY Candles may be pretty to look at but they are a cause of home fires. Remember, a candle is an open flame, which means that it can easily ignite anything that can burn. IF YOU DO BURN CANDLES, make sure that you… Use candles holders that are sturdy and won’t tip easily. “CANDLE WITH CARE” Put candles holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface. Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and any loose cloth- Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep. Don’t burn a candle all the way down—put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn. Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home. Think about using flameless candles in your home. They Keep matches and lighters up high and out of children’s look and smell like real candles. ing away from the flame. Never leave a child alone in a room with a burning candle. reach. HARTLAND BRIDGES Page 6 VILLAGE TREE PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE The Village of Hartland has a long standing goal of creating tree lined streets. Over the years trees have been planted in the right of way on both sides of most streets. The right of way is typically 15’ from the curb toward the home. There are several factors taken into consideration when trees are planted. Some of these include underground utilities, overhead utility wires and street signs. Street trees planted in the Village right of way are considered a Village asset and the responsibility to maintain the trees falls to the Village. The Village has an annual budget to plant, maintain, and/or replace trees. Trees are typically replaced due to damage or disease. Unfortunately, sometimes the demand is greater than the funds. The tree trimming performed on the street trees is performed by Village staff as time permits. Tree trimming is done to provide the proper clearance for trucks in the street and for pedestrians on the sidewalks. Trees that are not trimmed on the street side could obstruct street signs, cause damage to vehicles or the tree. Trees that are not trimmed on the sidewalk side could cause injury to pedestrians or bikers. Private property trees or bushes that hang over the Village right of way are sometimes trimmed by Village staff for the same safety reasons. Private property trees that encroach the Village right of way that are trimmed by the property owner help maintain the health and aesthetics of the trees in the Village.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Results from a nationwide research study show that only one in three (34%) of American households have more than one fire extinguisher while nearly four out of five (78%) have more than one television. Having a fire extinguisher within reach can help you create a path to safety, and may even help put out a small, contained fire. Be safer in your homes by learning more about fire extinguishers. → Place a fire extinguisher within easy reach in rooms where fires are more likely to start such as the kitchen, living room and laundry room. Place a fire extinguisher in the bedroom for use in case you need to create a path to safety. Nearly half of all fatal fires occur during late night and early morning hours, when families are asleep. → Choose a multipurpose extinguisher that is large enough to put out a small fire but not too heavy to handle. → Learn to use a fire extinguisher properly. → Always call the fire department before you try to extinguish a fire yourself. Fire Extinguisher Classifications: Classification symbols are located on each extinguisher and are used to identify the type of fire the unit can be used on. A: CLASS A fires involve common combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, trash and plastics. B: CLASS B fires involve flammable liquids, solvents, oil, gasoline, paints, lacquers and other oil-based products. C: CLASS C fires involve energized electrical equipment such as wiring, controls, motors, machinery or appliances. It is recommended that fire extinguishers be replaced every 12 years and that you have at least a 2-A:10-B:C rated fire extinguisher on every level on your home and supplementary units for specific locations such as the kitchen. EDITION 14 FALL 2015 Page 7 IS YOUR MAILBOX READY FOR WINTER? As the summer season comes to a close, now is the time to check your mailbox for any needed maintenance/repairs before the winter season sets in. The Village of Hartland encourages every property owner with a mailbox to check for its proper location (please see the diagram) and sturdiness. Each property owner is responsible for the installation and maintenance of their mailbox and this includes having it on a sturdy base and firmly attached to its support post. The Village’s mailbox damage replacement policy states that only mailboxes that are actually hit by the snowplow and are properly installed are eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement will not be made if a mailbox gets knocked over from the weight of recently plowed now. That is why we are reminding residents to check their mailboxes before the snow flies. A properly installed and maintained mailbox will hold up to the snow that comes off the plow’s blade. The total value from reimbursement through the Village’s policy is limited to a maximum of $75. YELLOWBOOK DELIVERY COMING SOON! The Village has been notified that updated Yellowbook phone directories are scheduled for delivery beginning October 28 through December 9.

The work included repaving Maple Avenue from E. Capitol Drive to the Canadian Pacific (CP) Railroad tracks, roadway patching on Cottonwood and North Avenues, and the installation of improvements for a quiet zone at the CP Railroad crossings with Cottonwood Avenue and Maple Avenue. We anticipate the quiet zone designation of the railroad crossings by early fall at which time the train horns would only be sounded during emergency situations. In addition, storm and sanitary manhole utility repairs were made, worn fire hydrants and water valves were replaced and the pathway at Nottingham Park was repaved. We appreciated your patience and understanding while the construction was taking place as we brought these improvements to your neighborhoods.
