IMPORTANT MEMO: Allegan County Resource Recovery and the Twp. Board have been discussing the abuse at the Twp. Recycling Station. In the last year there has been TV’s, Mattresses, Appliances, Hazardous Waste, Agricultural Plastic/Steel Barrels and Trash left at this site. This is costing the Twp. extra money to throw these items out. The Twp. is now looking at spending money on a video surveillance system at this site. They will also be working with the County Sherriff’s Dept. with enforcement for residents who abuse this station. Please read this newsletter to better understand this recycling program. Thank you for your time. Allegan County Resource Recovery. Keep ACHD in mind when you are considering the proper disposal of HHW during your next cleaning project. *Trash Service not available.
