Each Saturday, the Department of Public Works will place up to 13 boxes between 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. and pick them up after 4 p.m. the same day to deter illegal dumping and maxi- mize their use by organizers. Reserve a box by calling 414- 286-3345. The boxes will be granted based on: ■ Requesters must organize a neighborhood cleanup before asking for the boxes. ■ Boxes will be placed only on accessible street corners — not on vacant lots or parking areas. ■ Boxes will not be placed for businesses, churches or schools. ■ Once placed, boxes will not be relocated, and if neighbors complain, the boxes will be removed. ■ Only two boxes can be reserved by an organizer. ■ Organizers can only make reservations once every eight weeks. ■ These items are prohibited: building materials, appliances and electronics, including TVs; tires; tree limbs, leaves and grass; and recyclables (paper, cardboard, glass, plastic bottles, and steel and aluminum cans). They should be taken to the proper city drop-off centers for recycling or composting. Also prohibited in the cleanup boxes are hazardous waste such as paint thinner, pesticides and used motor oil. The boxes are for neighbor- hood cleanups. If contractors are seen disposing items, call the non-emergency police number: 414-933-4444.
