Badger Books have come to Glendale!

What is a Badger Book? It is an electronic poll book. They will be used to check in voters, print voter numbers, enter registrations, and record absentee voters.

These electronic poll books will work the same as paper poll books and registration forms. For instance, just as a voter would sign the paper poll book to get a voter number in order to get a ballot, the voter will sign the Badger Book. The election inspector will still look up the voters’ names in the poll book, voters will still sign the poll book, and voters will still get a voter number. The only difference is that all of this will be done electronically using the Badger Books.

The actual process of voting will not change at all. Voters will still vote on paper ballots and will still place those ballots in the tabulator. The tabulator is not connected to the Badger books in any way.

The Badger Books are not connected to the internet or to any other outside source.  They are connected to a server through a router within each polling place that allows the books to talk to each other. They communicate only with each other.


The Badger Books will be used at City of Glendale polling places beginning in Fall 2022.

Burning Leaves, Yard Waste, Etc. Prohibited!

Glendale Ordinance 5-2-7 (g) prohibits the burning of leaves, brush, wood, yard waste, and other vegetative debris. 

Open fires can be a significant source of pollution. According to the Wall Street Journal, a single pit can, in one evening, emit as much fine-particulate pollution as "one heavy-duty diesel truck driving 564 miles." Bring your leaves to the edge of the street for collection. 


Sanitary Sewer Backup

If you experience a basement sanitary sewer backup on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., call (414) 228-1710. If you experience a backup after hours or on weekends, please call the Glendale Police Department non-emergency number at (414) 228-1753. The Police Department will contact a Public Works employee to investigate the problem.

Brush and Yard Waste Collection

The Department of Public Works would like to remind residents NOT to rake leaves or yard waste to the curb. Yard waste and leaves will be collected as part of the Brush & Yard Waste Program. 

  • Residents can place no more than three (3) cubic yards of Yard Waste at the curb for pick-up. The Yard Waste collection program is not a tree removal service.
  • All Yard Waste must be placed in sturdy paper bags suitable for containing Yard Waste or in other suitable containers clearly marked “YARD WASTE,” excluding carts or plastic bags. The weight of each container must not exceed fifty (50) pounds. If Yard Waste is not placed in a suitable container, the branches shall be tied in a bundle weighing not more than fifty (50) pounds.
  • NO GRASS CLIPPINGS will be collected. Residents are encouraged to use mulching mowers or compost their own grass clippings.
  • YARD WASTE MIXED WITH TRASH WILL BE REJECTED.
  • The following materials WILL NOT be collected: stumps; root systems or parts of roots attached to brush; brush mixed with garden debris; brush generated from site clearing activities; materials resulting from tree pruning or removal at an address other than the collection point; and tree branches greater than 4" in diameter and 4' in length.
  • Yard Waste must be placed at the edge of the road, curb or alley (the same location as garbage pick-up) abutting your property only, not extending onto pavement.  
How can Residents Dispose of Tree Branches and Logs Greater than 4" in Diameter?
  • Offer to friends and neighbors for firewood
  • Put a “Free Wood” sign on the pile (maximum size of sign cannot exceed 4 square feet)
  • Contract with a private tree contractor
How Can Residents Dispose of Stumps?
  • Hire a private tree contractor to grind the stump
For more information, please refer to the City's website regarding brush and yard waste.

Storm Drain

Benefits of Cleaning Your Storm Drain

  • Reduced flooding particularly to low lying areas
  • Reducing icy patches that form from water pooling then freezing
  • Reduced foul odors.
  • Avoiding infrastructure damages of property highways, sidewalks, basement, cars, piping system and cables. 
  • Reduce soil erosion. Stagnant water accumulated can make soil muddy leading soil to erode.

Collection of Refuse

Per City of Glendale Ordinance 8-3-6, all garbage carts shall be placed at the curbside collection point only after 4:00 PM on the evening prior to the regular collection time. All refuse carts must be removed from the curbside collection point within twenty-four (24) hours after the regular collection time.
