Notice to those using the city drop off site

At this evening's Oshkosh Common Council, city manager Richard Wollangk announced that the entrance to the city yard waste drop-off site has been relocated.

Now, instead of entering the site off of Witzel Avenue, users will enter from Idaho Street, which is right around the corner basically.

The city believes this will eliminate the traffic congestion that previously occurred on Witzel and allow city crews to more easily use their chipping equipment, etc., once the materials have been dropped off.

At present time the center is still on "winter hours," which are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. As spring approaches and people begin doing more yard work, those hours will change.You must have a permit to drop off materials here; permits can be purchased at City Hall, 215 Church St.
