Join us for Wildfire Community Preparedness Day with the Middleton Fire Department for a friendly community-wide yard cleanup competition. 

Take photos of your yard cleanup and submit them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. - you will need to sign a photo release form, which will be given when you submit photos, so the Middleton Fire Department can send them to Fire Smart. 

Submission Deadline: May 7

Public Works will have the brush dump open from 10:00am-2:00pm so residents can bring their garbage to the dump. PLEASE NOTE: The brush dump is for brush and leaves only. Dumping chemicals, garbage, recyclables, treated wood, or construction debris is prohibited.
