The utilization of the yard waste disposal site requires a yard tag to be purchased from the Village Hall each new year.  You now have the option to purchase your yard waste permits online (click the link).  You will be required to email proof of residence to license_permits@villageofpewaukeewi.gov.  You may also mail in your proof of residence with a self-addressed, pre-paid envelope, and $30 to our office.  Permits will not be mailed until acceptable proof of Village residence has been submitted.
