MAR-kit provides recycling bins for Badger area residents.  The bins are located at the intersection of South Main Street & University Avenue.  Please read the signs and throw only approved recyclable items in the bins.  The City of Badger pays MAR-kit a contamination fee for all items in the bins that are non-recyclable.  DO NOT throw the bags you use to haul your recyclables to the bins.

In most cases it is best to fill out the building permit application and turn it in to the city office.  City staff will send it to the building official for his determination.

High water usage is usually a valve left on or a toilet stool valve leaking or the water softener continues to cycle.  If the water flow is recorded by the meter, the customer is responsible and charged for the water usage.  A stool valve leaking is the most common cause for high water usage.  Be sure to also check any outside spigots that may have been left on or turned on by mistake.
