Replacement recycling bins
The Village provides one recycling bin. If you want a second bin, it can be purchased at Village Hall for $10.
Household hazardous Waste (HHW)
The Village works with Waukesha County to provide residents a responsible solution for disposing of household hazardous waste.
Waukesha County operates four (4) year-round household hazardous waste drop-off sites for residents and four (4) special one-day collections in spring and fall. Verify that your items are acceptable waste (PDF) and make sure to have proof of residency when bringing items to any HHW site. There is no fee for this service. More information can be found on the Waukesha County website here.
Garbage or recycling was not picked
The Village of Chenequa asks that you have your items out by 7:00 am. If you had them out by that time, please call Veolia Environmental Services in Hartland at (262) 367-6040.
Burning permits
Burning permits are required for EVERY fire. The permit is obtained by calling the Village Hall and giving your name and address. If the weather conditions are clear for burning, we will take your name and note that permission was given on that particular day. No permits will be issued when winds are above 9 miles per hour per the Fire Chief. Please call only when you are ready to burn, as permits cannot be given in advance. To obtain a permit after normal Village Hall hours of operation, call (262) 446-5070.
What items will not be picked up and what do I do with them?
Items that do not fit into the trash bins require advanced notice to be picked up. This includes items such as appliances, furniture, building materials. Call Veolia Environmental Services in Hartland at (262) 367-6040. Items will normally be picked up on your normal pickup day.
Dead animals or deer
Please call the Police Department non emergency line at (262) 367-2145.
Trash and Recycling pick up
The pick up for your home will be weekly on Friday. All waste should be placed in containers no larger than 30 gallons and not weighing more than 50 pounds. Pick up will be made from outside and next to your garage. Collections begin at 7:00am. Please make sure your garbage is available for pick up by that time.
Chenequa has a comprehensive household recycling program that includes driveway pick up by Village crews and a drop-off center. Household pick ups are every other Wednesday. Please do the following:
- Place your recyclables on your driveway where our crews can access it and be visible from the street.
- Materials should be rinsed, clean and ready for collection by 7:00am.
- There are no limits on the amount of recyclables that will be picked up. Additional recycling that does not fit in your recycling bin should be placed in an extra garbage can or plastic container.
- Collection crews will tag all containers which do not conform to these specifications, and will leave materials behind.
