Recycle More Wisconsin A group of Wisconsin communities has assembled a new Web site with information designed to help people become better recyclers. Called Recycle More Wisconsin, the site was created by the Be SMART coalition, a group of municipalities formed in 1995 to reduce the waste going into landfills. Recycle More Wisconsin

Subdivision/Land Division Ordinance Effective March 16, 2005. The ordinance establishes requirements for any division of land in the Town of Buffalo. Information and applications for land divisions and subdivisions are available from Donna Seddon, Town Clerk, or on our web site.

Building Permits Building permits are required for new buildings and additions. Permits must be obtained from the Town before County Permits can be obtained. Building permits can be purchased at Woods and Goods, N1629 State Rd 22, (608) 297-7692. Fines can be issued against those who do not obtain a building permit. Uniform Building Code permits are also required by state law. These are available though the Marquette County Zoning Office.

Buffalo Township residents who want to actively support their community can participate in the following ways:

  • Adopt a Road. Pick up trash along your roadway. Many of us already do this, but more people could get involved so that those areas not “cared for” could be. If you intend to pick up trash along any specific road on a regular basis or if you wish to have an area assigned to you/your family you may want to consider formal adoption of highway section though the DOT. The township can assist with this application process if you wish. Participants in this program will be honored at the Annual Meeting.

  • Recycling Center Support- When you are at the recycle center, be observant and help with the following :
    Assure that only paper products get into the paper bin, Metal products, small appliances, scrap parts should go in the heavy trash pickup corner. Aluminum cans should be separated out and put into the designated container. Buffalo Township also recycles batteries, of all types, florescent tubes, compact bulbs, and smoke detectors. All of these contain hazardous components. Please leave these items with the attendant. (Dorothy).

  • Burn Barrels. According to the DNR we may burn only the materials that are allowed to be open burned--namely, leaves, plant clippings, paper, cardboard and clean, untreated wood. Burn barrels operate at low temperatures (400- 500 degrees F), resulting in incomplete combustion of the wastes being burned. Burning prohibited materials-- such as plastics, asphalt, rubber and other man-made materials—generates hazardous air pollutants)

    Instead of burning consider: Recycling newspaper, office paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, magazines, aluminum, metal and acceptable plastics. (Free at the recycle center.) Composting leaves & plant clippings. Chipping brush and clean wood to make mulch or decorative chips, or use it as heating fuel in wood stoves or boilers. www.wdnr.gov/
