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.

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/
