COVID-19 TRASH AND RECYCLING UPDATE

PLEASE place all trash in container. To keep everyone safe drivers will not be getting out of the trucks to pick up extras. They will ONLY be emptying the bins from inside the trucks. There will be NO large item pickups until further notice. At this time trash and recycles will still be picked up. PLEASE do your part so this service can continue.

Road side recycling pick up:

Hamilton Township has road side trash pick up and road side recycling pick up. There will no longer be containers to leave either trash or recycling at the hall.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY TRASH OR RECYCLING
AT THE TOWNSHIP HALL!!
The township works hard to promote cleanliness throughout the township and trash and recycling left at the hall causes litter to blow across the road and field. If you do not have a trash or recycle container please call 989-329-9711 and one will be provided. Thank-you for your cooperation!
