Other notes
- Use Red Arrow Highway entrance west of Paw Paw, north side of road, not Township Hall at 114 N Gremps Street. Treasurer office hours are for pass collection, not gate access.
- Keep recyclable material clean, empty and free of food/liquid. No plastic bags or trash in mixed recycling; bagged Styrofoam is the explicitly separate foam service, not a general bag exception.
- Guide accepts listed paper/cardboard, green/brown/clear bottles/jars, rigid plastics 1-7 and specified metal food cans/foil/lids. No aerosol cans, batteries, bulbs, shingles, oil/containers, paint/cans, burn barrels, window glass, waxed cardboard or soiled food containers in recycling.
- Passenger tire program wording gives residents four tires/day and nonresidents four/day at $5 each; a resident tire fee is not explicitly stated on the guide. Confirm resident charges, rim rules and tire category rather than declaring all resident tires free.
- The 2026 township Community Services page explicitly offers dump passes for primary-residence parcels, separate from the year-round recycle pass. Do not confuse an annual recycling card with permission for unlimited free garbage.
