Notices

---

Effective as of January 2025, residents will be required to maintain their signs.

If you have a problem with any sign damage or unreadable in the future, contact our patrolman, Matt Zinke, and he will correct the problem.

Please keep in mind that these signs are important to you and your safety should you require any emergency assistance.  Keep foliage, tall grass, weeds, etc., from obscuring signs.  No one can help you if you can't be located.

Notice to all town residents regarding burning of brush.  All our fire departments serving our residents charge fees for responding to fire calls.  To prevent unwanted fees, call the Monroe County Sheriff's Dispatch at 608-269-8712.

Please let them know you are having a controlled, supervised burning at your location and include  your fire number.  Calls to dispatch need to be made at the BEGINNING of the burn and at COMPLETION.  This may save you from being charged for an unnecessary response by your local fire department by someone passing by.

Bags can be purchased in Wilton at Hardware Hank OR from the town shop by calling our Patrolman, Matt Zinke at 608-487-0564.

PLEASE NOTE:

Garbage bags can NOT be OVER 40lbs.  Bags weighing over 40lbs will NOT be picked up; they will need to be split into 2 or more bags depending upon the amount of garbage you have.

The Township of Wellington appreciates the efforts of residents who mow the road ditches, as it helps maintain the appearance and safety of our community. However, we must firmly request that grass clippings, leaves, or other mowing debris are not blown into the roadway.This request is made for the following important reasons:

1. Safety for motorists and motorcyclists – Grass clippings can create slippery conditions, especially for two-wheeled vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.
2. Drainage and maintenance – Debris can clog culverts and storm drains, leading to water backup, erosion, and costly repairs.
3. Compliance with state and local regulations – Leaving debris in the roadway can be considered a traffic hazard and is subject to fines or penalties.
4. Aesthetics and community pride – Keeping our roads clear maintains the neat appearance of our township.

We thank all residents for their cooperation in keeping our roads safe and our township looking its best.
