• Allouez changed its bulk and brush calendar for 2026 and said why, which matters because the free bulk allowance only applies during a scheduled week. The village's announcement of December 8, 2025: "Beginning in 2026, the bulk and brush collection schedule will change. The schedule is designed to allot more time for the maintenance and repair of Village streets and utilities, while still providing exceptional collection services." Staff "examined past collection data and compared surrounding municipal services to create an optimized schedule," which "was brought to the Public Works Committee and Village Board for approval under a two-year pilot program." The village also tells residents where the two self-haul routes go, and they are not interchangeable: "Between pickups, the Lebrun Yard Waste Site is open 24/7 for residents to drop off brush and yard waste. Bulk waste can be taken to the Brown County Transfer Station." The Public Works Director may authorize extra residential bulk or brush pickup in specific areas "if warranted by a storm event," announced on the village website and Facebook page. Source Not confirmed: The announcement links a 2026 schedule attachment but does not list the collection weeks in its own text, so the specific bulk weeks are not established here. Not confirmed: The announcement does not say when the two-year pilot is reviewed or what happens to the schedule afterward.
