Weekly News Blast: It was a busy few days for several of our public work crew after a surprise storm hit our community and others around Central Wisconsin. A lot of trees fell onto the roads and yards, and cleanup has been ongoing since the storms ended Monday afternoon. I would like to give a shout out to the people in our community who helped move trees off the roads so people could travel safely. One resident I talked to, Eldred Getzloff, was moving a huge tree that was blocking Griffith Ave. He took his tractor and moved a huge tree off the road so people could pass. The public works employees who deserve a special shout out are Jim Yetter, Jerry Reinwand and Garry Saeger. Jim and Jerry worked until almost 11:00 PM on Monday as what started out as one tree and then another and another until they were cutting and removing them all evening long. On Tuesday more trees were found, so Jim and Garry were busy all morning and then had to come back in again after 4 PM to cut some more. A special and huge thank you to them and all the people that worked to clean up the mess. When you see our public workers, thank them for the long hours spent on getting our roads cleared up.  Supervisor Doug Steltenpohl

Weekly News Blast

Clerk Stefanie Schlapa filed the annual Recycling Report required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Town of Grant is a “Responsible Unit” or RU as we are independent – we have our own transfer station and don’t rely on Portage County or another entity to contract for our solid waste or recycling agreements and services. There are many highlights within the report but here are just a few: 53 tons of recycled materials were hauled; based on our population each person recycled just shy of 59 lbs; there were 146 tires collected; and sale of certain recyclables were $9,350 (aluminum, metals, etc.) collected. The Town will receive a WDNR Recycling award of nearly $2300.00. This, along with the good efforts by our residents to reuse, recycle and repurpose help to keep our Transfer Station costs down. That said, our annual Choose to Reuse, Tire Day and Litter Pick-up is scheduled for Saturday May 17th. Mark your calendar now and watch for a bright pink postcard in the mail to arrive soon!

Enjoy the weekend, Sharon
