2023 Garbage and recycling pick-up schedule 2023-Town-of-New-Hope-Calendar
The Town of New Hope uses Harter’s Fox Valley Disposal to provide town-wide garbage and recycling pick-up services to all households in the Township.
- Garbage is picked up weekly and single-stream recycling every other week. (see the posted calendar above)
- Large item pick-up (appliances, furniture, etc.) is available for a charge to the household (see note below).
- A special recycling event will be held by the Town of New Hope each fall for some items that are not eligible for recycling (tires, electronics, batteries, etc.). Watch for this and other special events hosted by surrounding townships.
- Split body trucks keep refuse and recyclables separated by using two individual compartments with simultaneous packing, saving on route costs and reducing our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for another truck to pick up the recyclables.
- Consult the 2018-Recycling-Guide for information on items accepted for curbside recycling by Harter’s, and for items that must be dropped off at the Portage County Transfer facility at 600 Moore Road in Plover.
- Garbage and Recycling collection will be delayed one day if any of the following holidays fall on a weekday: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day
