Holiday closures
Town page says closed December 25 and January 1 and when a holiday falls on Saturday. Linked operator notice says closed if holiday falls on either business day. Confirm the applicable holiday gate schedule.

Other notes
- This is a township recycling program plus a separately operated paid waste area, not one uniform free service. Township key-fob deposit and neighbor annual fees do not waive west-side trash charges.
- The 2025 township-hosted operator notice says recycling free to residents; current town webpage explains the $25 key-fob deposit and neighbor annual contributions. Read the old free wording together with current access rules, not as no-card walk-in permission.
- Second-Saturday electronics is in a separate building, with household batteries and rigid foam that snaps rather than bends. The electronics section lists TVs/monitors and common devices but excludes printers/scanners, smoke detectors, hazardous materials and liquid/refrigerant items from that stream. These exclusions are not a ban on ordinary paper/glass in the regular recycling area.
- Main linked 2025 notice accepts paper, cardboard, tin/aluminum, rigid plastics 1-7 and green/brown/clear glass for ordinary recycling. Keep different streams separate and ask staff about a disputed item.
- Town page sends hazardous-waste users to Kalamazoo County, but that reference does not establish current funding availability, eligibility or intake here. Paid-waste questions go to Best Way 269-463-3232; township recycling questions to 269-668-2615 extension 208.
- Entrance is south side of 64th Avenue between County Road 657 and 30th Street. Township Hall at 24821 Front Avenue is the fob/registration office, not the station.
