Opening Burning

You may burn clean wood, brush and yard waste in piles under 10 feet in diameter between the hours of 5:pm to Midnight (CST) or 6:pm to Midnight (DST).  To do so, a burning permit must be obtained from the Village Hall, Fuzzy's Bar or T & B One Stop.  If there is snow cover between the dates of December 1st and March 31st, a permit is not required and hours do not apply.  Please use extreme caution when burning: burn when winds are gentle, have fire-fighting tools ready before starting fires, provide an adequate fire break, attend fires at all time, and be very sure your fire is totally extinguished.  Burning barrels are strictly prohibited.
    

         Garbage Pick-up & Mandatory Recycling

Garbage is picked up on Friday mornings of each week.  Garbage must be contained in clear plastic bags.  There is no additional fee to residents for garbage pick-up, as the cost is included in the annual tax levy.  Recycling is mandatory!  The recycling site is located at the Town of Stephenson Garage on Hall Ave. and is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
 

Animal (Pet) Control

All dogs must be licensed.  You may obtain a license at the Village Hall by presenting a current rabies certificate.  Licenses for spayed and neutered dogs are $5.00; and $10.00 for unspayed or unneutered dogs.  The license term is January 1 through December 31 of each year.

It is unlawful to allow dogs or other pets to run at large in the Village of Crivitz.  Even the most well behaved pet may react dangerously when approached by a stranger, especially in unfamiliar surroundings.  You must keep your dog or other pet confined by a leash, chain or fenced in area.  Pets found to be running at large will be captured and lodged in the veterinary clinic for seven days prior to being destroyed.  Owners claiming pets within the seven day period will be financially responsible for boarding and vaccination fees.  Owners will also be subject to citation and forfeiture.
