SPRING CLEAN-UP
Spring Clean-Up will be held the Saturday before Memorial Day and the following Tuesday thru Saturday. Following are the dates/times:
Saturday 05/24/25 and Saturday 05/31/25; 8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Tuesday 05/26/25 through Friday 5/30/25; 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The purpose of Spring Clean-Up is to give property owners in the Green Lake Sanitary District the ability to get rid of unwanted items that Waste Management will not pick up as part of regular/normal weekly household garbage.
Several Dumpsters will be set up at the Green Lake Sanitary District Office located at N5295 Cty Rd TT, Princeton WI. for residents to put the items in.
We will also have an area for gently used items that are not ready for the landfill, we will try to donate these items to other people and organizations.
Hazardous materials such as oils, paints, batteries, tires, microwaves, dehumidifiers, recyclables and appliances containing fluids etc. will not be accepted. Electronic waste will not be accepted either. If you are unsure of an item please contact the GLSD at 920-295-4488 or paulettej@glakesd.com.
