Obtaining the proper permit for your project ensures your project is built right, safe and will last. A permit is a small investment that can protect you in the event of improper workmanship.

Also, you will avoid penalties and fees by getting your permit before starting a project or installing an appliance and help ensure a smooth process.

The best way to find out if you need a permit is to call the City Building Inspection Department at 228-1708 or for a list of projects requiring a permit, visit: www.glendale-wi.org/permitlist.pdf

Bring your hazardous waste, such as pesticides, solvents, automotive fluids and other potentially harmful chemicals to the mobile site listed below or to the permanent collection facility located at W124 N9451 Boundary Road, Menomonee Falls.

DO NOT bring latex paint to the Hazardous Waste facility. Dry out the paint by lining a big box with plastic and fill it with thin layers of paint. Once it's dry, pour in another layer until the paint can is empty. Place newspaper or kitty litter in the box to help absorb more paint. When the paint in the box is dry, throw it all in the normal garbage.
