Other notes
- Use 3008 Swihart Road, not Township Hall at 14270 Brethren Boulevard. Station telephone 231-477-5887 differs from township office 231-477-5885.
- Town describes the transfer station specifically for resident property-owner garbage disposal. Detailed everyday material exclusions, load-size limits and payment method are not published on the retrieved page; ask before bringing construction debris, tires, appliances or furniture.
- Separate recycling bin is described behind the Fire Department, and cardboard/paper recycling at the old Dickson High School. These are not proof that the Swihart station accepts all recyclables or special items. Exact current separate-bin street addresses and access windows were not verified.
- Town lists the Republic Services landfill at 3890 Camp Road, Manistee as a different disposal option. Its posted weekday schedule is not the Dickson gate schedule and is not permission to use a private landfill without verifying intake and fees.
- Town also gives a conservation-district HHW contact, but the listed office hours are not verified HHW collection hours. Call for an actual current collection event or appointment before transporting chemicals.
- An official April 2026 board-minutes link surfaced in research but the PDF returned 403; no unverified fee claim from its search summary is used here.
