All needle stick injuries require workers to undergo extensive testing, pose serious disease risks, and can cause long-term emotional stress. State regulations require households to safely package sharps for proper disposal and prohibit putting sharps in the landfill.

Cleansers or any product that would have gone down the drain in normal use may be flushed down a sanitary sewer drain including septic systems. Flush small amounts of latex paint (less than 1/3 full container) or if not in its original container down a sanitary sewer drain.

WI SALT WISE We rely on salt to keep our roads safe in the winter and to soften water in our homes year-round but using more salt than is needed comes with a heavy price. In Wisconsin and much of the United States, chloride from salt is infiltrating into our lakes, streams and groundwater. It only takes 1 teaspoon of salt to pollute 5 gallons of water to a level that is toxic for freshwater ecosystems. We can all work together to use the right amount of salt!

In order to comply with the Wisconsin Open Meeting Law, please direct email communications about town business to townhall@townofdunnwi.gov . Board members will receive your message and it will become part of the public record. Elected Town Board members will hear your concerns and conduct their discussion at a publicly noticed Town Board meeting. Contacting Town Board members on private phone calls, and discussing important topics which will later come before the Board, can cause Board members to feel that town business is being conducted privately and without proper notice to the public. In that case, Board members will likely feel the need to recuse themselves and not vote on the issue.
