Welcome to the Village of New Glarus ~ America's "Little Switzerland"!

The Village has retained its Swiss charm with Alpine-style architecture, ethnic festivals and Swiss delicacies. The Village is located in beautiful Green County in southwestern Wisconsin. We are just 28 miles south of Madison and 17 miles north of Monroe on State Highway 69.

RESIDENTIAL BULK CLEAN-UP SCHEDULE

In an effort to maintain services to Village residents and avoid tax increases, the Village Board has approved splitting the spring residential bulk trash collection into a two-day event for 2012. The bulk pickup days will occur on non-recycling collection days so the crews do not have to work around the recycling carts.

The Village will be divided into two zones. Zone A will be picked up on Friday, May 4, 2012 and Zone B on Friday, May 18, 2012. Click HERE to view map outlining the two zones.

Please contact the Village Clerk's Office with any questions at 527-2510.
