Trash, bulk pickup, and e-waste in Turtle
What your municipal hauler will and won't take, and where the rest has to go. This is what actually differs town to town for a DIY haul; a full-service cleanout skips all of it.
Johns Disposal serves Turtle, per the hauler's own Rock County service-area listing
Johns Disposal lists the Town of Turtle on its own official Rock County service-area page. The town's own site doesn't publish a separate bulk-item schedule; call Johns Disposal at (262) 473-4700 to confirm current bulk and electronics pickup rules before assuming.
Wisconsin's landfill ban on electronics and major appliances
Wisconsin has banned landfilling or incinerating major appliances and lead-acid batteries outright, and since September 1, 2010 its E-Cycle Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. s. 287.07) has banned computers, printers, DVD/VCR players, TVs, and other covered electronic devices from landfills and incinerators too. A regular curbside pickup in this part of Rock County will not take them; they have to go to a registered recycler or a drop-off site instead.
