ASSESSOR’S OFFICE
This fall, the City Assessor’s Office will be requesting interior inspections on many homes to update property records for a future citywide revaluation. The Wisconsin Assessors Manual requires that assessors periodically complete interior inspections of all property. If our records on your home are over 5 years old, you may receive this request. The inspection will not affect your 2015 assessed value. We will also be driving through neighborhoods in City vehicles taking photos of buildings to update our database. The photos are used by various City departments and are available on our website. Please call 920-832-5850 with any questions.

GARBAGE
www.appleton.org
• GARBAGE PICK UP is done weekly from City-supplied garbage carts. f Place your City garbage cart out for pick up the night before your scheduled day (between 5 P.M. and 3 A.M.). f The handle of the garbage cart should face your house. f Place your cart at least 5 feet from other objects on the terrace such as other garbage or recycling carts, mailboxes, trees, etc. Garbage trucks need this space for the truck arms to grab the cart. f Do not park vehicles in front of or near carts. f Never place a cart in the road. This is always a safety concern and in winter does not allow plows to clear snow close to the curb. When there are snow banks, place the cart in your driveway apron opening or clear an area on your terrace to allow crews access to your cart. Do not place carts on snow banks. f Any bags that cause the lid not to close on City garbage carts are considered to be extra garbage. (See the next section for details.) f Return your cart to its storage area by midnight the day of pick up. f Please use plastic bags for items inside City garbage carts. f Check www.appleton.org “My Neighborhood” (under “City Highlights”) for garbage and recycling pickup days specific to your address. If your garbage cart is too small, too large or needs repair, the property owner should call 920-832-5580. • EXTRA GARBAGE BAGS–Because garbage cart charges are based on volume, bagged garbage or trash that doesn’t fit in your cart must be marked with a disposal sticker. Bags should weigh less than 45 pounds. f Unlimited bags of extra household garbage are picked up each week with a $4 per bag disposal sticker. f Put extra bags approximately 5 feet from garbage carts. f The disposal sticker should be attached to bags and be visible to drivers. • APPLIANCE TAGS, GRASS PUNCH TICKETS and DISPOSAL STICKERS are available at the following locations: All Appleton Fire Stations #1-700 N. Drews St. #4-724 E. Greenfield St. #2-1801 S. Matthias St. #5-1701 W. Brewster St. #3-801 W. Grove St. #6-4930 N. Lightning Dr. City Hall Cashier 100 N. Appleton St. Public Works (OPS Div) 2625 E.

The disposal charge is reduced when appliances are brought to the Public Works Customer Service Center located at the Yard Waste Site. See Yard Waste Site information on page 10 for drop-off fee information. • ELECTRONICS–The following electronics must be recycled and will not be picked up with regular garbage per Wisconsin state law: computers, monitors, TVs and other video display devices, fax machines, DVD and VCR players, printers, keyboards and mice, hard drives, speakers, cell phones, cameras, portable music players, gaming devices and small laptops.

• HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE–Some wastes are just too hazardous for landfills and require special disposal through the Outagamie County “Household Hazardous Waste Collection”. Hazardous wastes include: pesticides, herbicides, poisons, acid, lead- and oil-based paints, automotive and rechargeable batteries, mercury and some cleaning materials. This program is limited to households only and is held on select dates May through October. For dates, times or to schedule an appointment, call 920-832-5277 or visit their website www.RecycleMoreOutagamie.org. If you are unable to attend, you may take your hazardous waste directly to the Brown County Hazardous Waste Facility free of charge.

If you must dispose of latex paint, please follow these directions: • For small amounts: Remove the lid and let dry in the can. Occasionally stir the paint. • For larger amounts: Line a cardboard box with a plastic trash bag. Layer an absorbent material (kitty litter, sawdust, shredded newspaper) on bottom, pour a layer of paint and repeat as necessary. Once the paint is dry, dispose of the entire trash bag and dry empty paint cans in your regular trash. Any oil- or lead-based paints should be taken to a hazardous waste collection. • WASTE OIL, FILTERS AND ABSORBENTS–These items must be recycled by homeowners, farmers and businesses. Visit www.RecycleMoreOutagamie.org or call Outagamie County Recycling & Solid Waste at 920-832-5277. • MEDICAL SHARPS DISPOSAL To reduce public health risks such as accidental needle sticks, Wisconsin law requires all citizens to safely manage needles, lancets and syringes.

TOGETHER WE CAN PROTECT LOCAL WATERS!
Maintaining your vehicle helps reduce pollution from oil and gas leaks. From time to time, we’ve all noticed an oily sheen on water in streets and parking lots. It’s the result of small leaks, accumulated residues, and fuel overfills from our cars. When a vehicle is maintained, fewer leaks spill onto streets and highways and fewer contaminants enter our streams. Picking up pet waste is important to do throughout the year. Prevent bacteria in our lakes and streams by carrying small plastic bags when walking your dog. Collect droppings, tie a knot in the bag, and dispose of it properly. Do not throw pet waste down the storm drains. At home, pick up pet waste often. Even waste in your backyard can pollute local waterways. For more information, please visit www.RenewOurWaters.org.
DISPOSING OF MERCURY
Exposure to releases of mercury into the environment has been negatively linked to human and wildlife health impacts. Mercury should never be poured down a drain or sewer, flushed down a toilet or thrown in the trash. Items containing mercury (e.g., thermometers and thermostats) should be taken to a hazardous waste collection for proper disposal. For more information on recycling mercury products please visit the Outagamie County Recycling & Solid Waste website at www.RecycleMoreOutagamie.org. Please note: the recycling of mercury products requires an appointment as part of the Household Hazardous Waste Program. For more information on mercury and ways the City of Appleton is working to reduce mercury in the Fox River, please visit the Department of Utilities page at www.appleton.org.
www.appleton.org
RECYCLE! IN WISCONSIN IT’S THE LAW Recycling is picked up every other week on
your regular garbage day. All items should be placed inside the City-supplied recycling cart for automated curbside pick-up according to the schedule on page 8. Recyclable items include: soda, water and other drink bottles; food and household bottles, jars and jugs; dairy containers and lids; produce, bakery and deli containers; newspaper and inserts; cardboard, cereal and cracker boxes; junk mail, office paper, phonebooks, books, magazines and catalogs; milk, juice and soup cartons; aluminum bottles and cans; steel, tin and bi-metal cans; empty aerosol cans; food and beverage glass bottles and jars. DO NOT RECYCLE: plastic bags, wrap or film; motor oil bottles; Styrofoam™; paper contaminated by food or grease; tissue; gift wrap; aluminum pans/foil; empty paint cans. How to place recycling at the curb: • Empty and rinse all bottles and containers. Remove and discard all screw caps. • Place all recyclable materials in the provided cart. There is no need to separate paper from glass, aluminum, plastic and tin. • Please do not place recyclables in plastic bags and do not place trash in your recycling bin. • Cut cardboard to no longer than 2’x2’. • Because garbage and recycling are picked up by separate trucks, please keep your recycling cart 5 feet away from obstructions such as your garbage container, mailbox, utility poles, trees and parked cars. If possible, put garbage and recycling on opposite sides of the driveway. • Be sure to have recyclables curbside the night BEFORE your pick-up day (pick-up begins at 4:30 A.M.). • All recyclables must fit into your cart with the lid closed. For extra recyclables, you may: • Save for a future pick up day; • Ask a neighbor if they have extra room in their cart; • Bring to the County drop off site located at 1919 Holland Road, Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. and Saturdays, 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.
FROZEN WATER PIPES
During cold winter months, water pipes can freeze. To reduce this possibility, we suggest the following: • Turn off water to outside faucets, drain and leave faucets open. • Make sure all basement windows are securely closed and repair broken panes. • Repair cracks or holes in the foundation and insulate along floor joists. • Make sure all rooms containing water pipes are kept above freezing, especially if pipes are on an outside wall. • If the water meter is enclosed in a cabinet, leave the door open so that heat can circulate during the winter months. If your water pipes freeze, we recommend using a hair dryer to thaw them. Never use a blowtorch or any open flame to thaw pipes. Questions? Call 920-832-5580.

CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION
Trees will be collected curbside on the regular garbage day during the week of January 11-15, 2016. In case of bad weather, crews may be needed for snow and ice control. Collection of trees will then be extended into the following
week as needed, until skipped areas have been collected (if your tree becomes buried with snow, please assist operations by clearing it of snow). After that, trees must be brought to the Public Works yard waste drop-off site located at 2625 E. Glendale Avenue (open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:45 P.M.), or removed from the curb until the brush collection in spring. Please remove plastic tree bags.
TREE FOR A TREE
To participate in Appleton’s annual “Tree for a Tree” program, please bring Christmas trees to the Glendale Yard Waste Site (2625 E. Glendale Avenue) during open hours within the following scheduled weeks:

Participation is limited to residents of the city of Appleton. One coupon, redeemable in spring for a white spruce seedling, will be issued for each tree brought to the site. There is no limit. Exchange dates will be announced in the Spring/Summer Appleton City Guide and through general press release.
WINTER SNOW GUIDELINES
Winter will soon be upon us. To help make your travels safe, we offer the following guidelines: • Because snowplows can generate flying snow and salt, please stay back 50 feet, be patient and don’t pass a plow on the right side. • Please do not park vehicles on the street following a snowfall. Plows cannot get close to the curb, causing extra plowing which costs additional tax dollars. Cars parked on the street between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M. may be ticketed and towed. • Please do not park in driving lanes if snow is blocking the parking lane. • Please do not park your vehicle at the end of your driveway in a way that would impede the City plow. • Please do not place garbage/recycling carts on snow banks or in the road. Place carts in driveway openings. • Please provide safe sidewalks for pedestrians. The owner or occupant of property immediately adjacent to a public sidewalk is responsible for the snow/ice removal no later than 36 hours following the end of the snowfall. • Please do not blow, plow or throw snow onto any City street or sidewalk. Snow blown, plowed or shoveled onto any city right-of-way is subject to a citation. • Please keep the catch basin adjacent to your property free from ice and snow to help prevent flooding. • Please adopt one of the City’s 3,300 fire hydrants this winter by keeping it clear of snow.

2015 FALL LEAF PICKUP COLLECTION
www.appleton.org
APPLESource | Page 11
Leaf and yard waste pick-ups are done at 2-week intervals from October 12 through November 20 (dates are noted on the map to the right). Rake leaves and small yard and garden debris into the gutter or to the edge of the pavement on the Sunday night prior to your pick up week. Zone 1 begins Sunday, October 11 and then every other Sunday through November 8. Zone 2 begins Sunday, October 18 and then every other Sunday through November 15. Branches and brush may also be placed into the gutter at this time. Branches and brush must be cut down to 4’ lengths and bundled not to exceed 45 pounds. Yard waste may be in lawn and leaf paper bags or tied in bundles. DO NOT RAKE LEAVES OR PLACE YARD WASTE INTO THE GUTTER AT ANY OTHER TIME. THIS WILL AID IN KEEPING CITY STORM DRAINS CLEAR. Please keep piles low so that children are not hidden from motorists’ view and close to the curb so as not to interfere with traffic. During fall pick up, City crews will collect leaves and yard waste from the street gutter only. No containers will be collected. Leaves and yard debris should be placed in the gutter by the Sunday night prior to your pick up week. Leaves on the following streets will be pushed into piles on side streets as often as possible, but due to heavy traffic, residents are encouraged to transport leaves to the yard waste sites rather than raking them into the gutter. Both sites are open through November 23 with the Glendale site open year-round on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Ballard Rd. College Ave. Calumet St. Wisconsin Ave. Meade St. Richmond St./Memorial Dr. Newberry St. Mason St. (north of Prospect Ave.) Oneida St. Lawe St. (College Ave.-Wisconsin Ave.)
If weather permits, there will be one additional non-scheduled pass through the city starting November 23. Snow may prevent us from doing this additional leaf collection. If weather prevents the City from completing the leaf and yard waste pick up after your final collection week, residents are responsible for leaf and yard waste disposal. The Glendale site is open year-round on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. No additional special pick-ups will be scheduled. Because it is crucial to our leaf pick up operations to be able to work during the night, starting October 11 the Police Department will not grant permission for overnight parking in areas that are affected by leaf pick up. Vehicles that are illegally parked overnight (between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M.) will be subject to ticketing and towing. Thank you for your cooperation. Visit www.appleton.org “My Neighborhood” (under “City Highlights”) for leaf pick up weeks specific to your address. Find City-of-Appleton-Public-Works on facebook and follow appletondpw on Twitter.
OVERNIGHT PARKING
The City of Appleton prohibits overnight parking on city streets. The reasons range from operational benefits for the Department of Public Works and Police, to aesthetic reasons. The City performs various operations that occur at night (i.e. garbage/recycle pickup, street sweeping, leaf pickup and snow plowing), all of which are accomplished better and more efficiently without vehicles parked on the street. In addition, the police may note a vehicle parked on a street when responding to a call and use that information when investigating a crime. The restriction also keeps neighborhoods looking cleaner. If an emergency arises, such as a mechanical breakdown, home or street construction or extra guest vehicles, the police can give short-term permission to park overnight on a street. To avoid a citation, the Police Department must be notified the day or evening needed. Even with permission from the Police Department there are some restrictions and guidelines: f The vehicle must be parked in a legal parking spot. Permission will not be granted to park in a restricted area. f If parked on the street during garbage/recycle pick-up days, please provide adequate room for the trucks to reach the carts. f If parked during the daytime, be considerate of the postal workers and do not park near mail boxes located curbside. We are very proud of the way Appleton is a clean and safe place to live. Please help us to maintain these standards.

WHY WERE THERE SQUADS ON MY STREET?
If this is a question you have asked, we have an answer for you. Check out the CRIME MAPPING feature on the Appleton Police Department’s website (www.appleton.org/police). On the right-hand side of the homepage, you will see the quick-link to the CRIME MAPPING powered by Crime Reports. CRIME MAPPING is an interactive feature/link available from the Appleton Police Department’s webpage. It utilizes crime data from the Appleton Police Department. There are different shapes and colors of “pins” to represent activities like traffic stops, robbery, theft, property crimes and quality of life issues. Users can look at “pins” on the map of the City of Appleton. By clicking on the “pin”, you receive a description of the activity. You can search specific areas of the city. Time ranges and types of activity can also be customized. Many Neighborhood Watch groups find this information useful. CRIME MAPPING/Crime Reports does not require you to create an account. However, by creating an account, the user can request daily, weekly or monthly updates on any number of the crime icons available. A relatively new feature on the CRIME MAPPING page is the registration feature for outdoor surveillance cameras at a business or private home. Having an account will allow the user to voluntarily register the system. The idea behind the registration is to have additional cameras to check in case of a crime in the area. Cameras added are only known to the Appleton Police Department, not other Crime report users. For additional information about CRIME MAPPING or the camera registration program, please contact Sgt. Dave Lund at the Appleton Police Department 920-832-5509.

Voters are also encouraged to visit the Government Accountability website at www.bringit.wisconsin.gov for information.
FIRE DEPARTMENT REMINDERS
Fire Prevention Week is October 4-10 and this year’s theme is “Hear the Beep where you Sleep”. The key message of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign is to install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each seperate sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 P.M. and 7 A.M., when most people are asleep? In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 1. This is the time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors when you “fall back” an hour on your clocks. Keep up-to-date with the Appleton Fire Department’s runs, emergency information and safety tips on facebook and Twitter.
