Another Option

Other options for your yard waste disposal include burning the yard waste (you will need to obtain a burning permit at our Town Hall office prior to the burn), or disposal of the waste at the Outagamie County Landfill for a fee. The landfill is located on the corner of Holland Road and Highway 00, east of Hwy 441. The Outagamie County Landfill’s number is 832-5277.

The City of Appleton and Village of Harrison will not allow you to dump at their yard waste sites since you are not a resident.

Noxious Weed Notice to Property Owners

Notice is hereby given to each person who owns, occupies, or controls land in the Town of Buchanan, to destroy all noxious weeds on such property before the plants bloom. The noxious weeds are Canada Thistle, Leafy Spurge, and Field Bindweed (Creeping Jenny) per Wisconsin Statutes 66.0407. Our Town ordinance 34-1(a) also states that you must cut or remove the accumulation of brush, weeds or grass which has grown to a height greater than twelve (12) inches.

Vacant Lots & Ditches - No Illegal Dumping Is Allowed

Please do not treat vacant lots or ditches as dumping grounds. Dumping anything including grass clippings, rocks, stones or concrete, etc. in the ditches or on vacant land is prohibited.

Soil Testing

Did you know that you may be wasting time and money by adding unnecessary nutrients to your yard? Do a soil test first and learn what your lawn really needs. Many lawns have sufficient nutrients (such a phosphorus) already and do not need these nutrients added through a fertilizer. Soil tests supply information about the nutrients in your soil and can tell you when applications are no longer needed. Soil tests can prevent over fertilizing which can save money and protect area waters by limiting excess nutrients in storm water runoff. For more information regarding soil testing, contact your local UW-Extension office.
