Town of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, WI
The Town of Oshkosh is excited to report that within this past week the Vinland Street project is complete! Looking great is about 1-1/2 miles of a newly asphalted road with freshly painted lines.
In the spring of 2020, we were notified that the Town of Oshkosh was a recipient of the Multimodal Local Supplement (MLS) grant award that amended into an LRIP funding 90% of the project by the State. The Town of Oshkosh submitted application was coordinated effort with and included the City of Oshkosh as a co-sponsor, along with input from Winnebago County.
Our engineer immediately went to work, bidding the project, lining up the schedule, preparing to begin construction mid-summer. The project stalled when Wisconsin Public Service and the communication company decided to upgrade services in road right-of-way that took longer than expected, postponing the project to 2021.
As soon as weather permitted, the project started back up in April 2021 with ditch work making it to completion by the end of June.
The lead players in getting it done, and a huge thank you goes out to our engineers Mike Siewert and Abby Maslanka of Martenson & Eisele, Inc., being the driving force, and Northeast Asphalt for their professional product.
We are thankful for the funding from the State of Wisconsin and to the Wisconsin Towns Association (TAC, Town Advocacy Council, executive committee) for pushing hard for more transportation aid to rural communities allowing for this much-needed road re-construction to move forward.

This is a quick reminder that curbside trash and recycle pickup remains on Monday, July 5, 2021, even though some could be enjoying a workday off on Monday in honor of Independence Day.
Please welcome our new Fire Chief Steve Gawaresky with the term beginning July 1, 2021. Gawaresky has served on the department since 2006 and an Assistant Fire Chief from 2019 to 2021.

The Town of Oshkosh recently acknowledged Steve Karow’s retirement from the Volunteer Fire Department. Karow served on the department since 1979, a whopping 42-years of dedication! We take this moment to honor his service to our community and wish him well on his next life’s chapter.

The Town was informed by Winnebago County Solid Waste that there appears to be a fair amount of plastic bags (as in grocery and other plastic bags) mixed in with the co-mingle recyclables. Waste Management is telling us that the material recovery facilities, fully automated, are becoming much stricter and can be costly/dangerous to remove the bags entwined in the equipment.
Winnebago County Solid Waste said they will continue to monitor the situation and if a change is not made to future loads of recyclables from Town of Oshkosh residents there may be charged for contamination fees, landfilled and invoiced as trash, and/or turned away from their facility.
Bottom-line, it will cost YOU more. Please, no plastic bags in recyclables.
Please share this information with your neighbors and other Town of Oshkosh residents.
Generally, your local grocery stores accept plastic bags for recycle purpose and must bring it there.

Using a clear plastic bag to place your co-mingle inside and set out at the road is still okay only do not put the plastic bags from stores in with the co-mingle. Also, any sandwich or quart storage bags are not allowed, put those in the trash.
An alternative is use a plastic tote or a smaller trash can to put your co-mingle in, loose, without any bag.

Witness Requirements for mailed or dropped off ballots: Every absentee ballot is required to have the voter signature, date, witness signature and witness address on the return envelope in order to be counted. State law requires that the voter must show their unmarked ballot to their witness prior to marking their ballot in their presence (Wis. Stat. §6.87(2)). The witness then signs the certification indicating the proper voting procedure has been followed. If a ballot has not been voted in the presence of the witness, a witness cannot certify that the unmarked ballot was shown to them. The voter should request a replacement ballot from their municipal clerk in these situations.
In-Person Absentee Voting period. The period begins Tuesday, March 23, 2021 until April 2, 2021, conducted at the clerk’s home office. You will remain in your vehicle while the process is conducted.

A company change to curbside pickup service took place in the Town of Oshkosh in early November by Waste Management’s acquisition of Advance Disposal Service.
The primary operating location for our area is now in Berlin, WI.
The former Advance Disposal Omro location is now a new company called GFL, and they only offer commercial disposal, no residential curbside pickup, which was part of the acquisition judgement.
Please make a note that the new customer service contact phone number has changed. For Waste Management customer service 855-207-5817.
A magnet calendar will be in the mail last week of December.
Until residents receive the magnet calendar, you may print or view the 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of the 2021 recycle dates, click here.
