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.

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.
