Road side trash and  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 Supervisor Dave Wright at 989-329-9711 and one will be provided.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Large item pickup is now available.  To learn more about large item pickup and to  schedule service, please call Brian, of Republic Waste Service at 989-313-7891.
