Committee moves proposed refuse-disposal ordinance changes to village board for DNR review
Summary
Staff said updates are needed to align Title 8, Chapter 3 with 2025 Department of Natural Resources revisions and to provide residents clearer recycling information; the committee voted to forward the redlined changes to the village board subject to DNR approval.
Staff member (speaker 3) summarized a redlined draft of proposed changes to Ordinance Title 8, Chapter 3 (refuse disposal), saying staff used the DNR’s updated 2025 template language and incorporated local formatting. The presentation noted the edits focus on multifamily resident recycling information and include bans such as oil filters in landfills.
"We essentially had a couple items that were discussed, and one was that the ordinance need to be modified to fit their current revisions that just occurred in 2025," the staff member said. Staff recommended approving the modifications and referring them to the village board, subject to DNR review and confirmation. Committee member (speaker 1) moved to approve the modifications subject to DNR approval; the committee voted to move the item to the board.
The packet included a redlined version that staff said had been shared with DNR for review. The committee’s referral is procedural: final adoption requires the village board’s action after any DNR comments are resolved.
The ordinance changes will return to the village board with DNR input for final consideration.
