The council adopted changes to chapter 8.5 (recycling) to comply with Wisconsin Department of Revenue requirements and retain an annual grant estimated around $61,000.

The Glendale Common Council adopted an amendment to chapter 8.5 of the municipal code to align the city’s recycling ordinance with recent Wisconsin Department of Revenue requirements.

Director of Public Works (Mister Emmick) said the change is primarily a formality required to maintain the city’s status as a responsible unit for recycling and to preserve access to an annual grant that staff estimated at roughly $61,000. The council asked no substantive questions and unanimously adopted the ordinance as presented.

Staff did not propose changes to service levels in this update; the action was described as compliance-focused and tied to the continued grant eligibility.
