Other notes
- Municipal waste is temporarily stored at the site before further disposal. Accepted categories are residential trash, recycling and scrap metal only as directed onsite.
- Town explicitly prohibits building materials, demolition debris, hazardous materials, tires, liquids and refrigerant appliances. Do not assume an ordinary resident trash load can include renovation waste or a refrigerator.
- The current winter-hours notice agrees with the main site page: Wednesday/Saturday 9-5. The additional Sunday is summer only. Holiday closures are possible but no complete dated 2026 calendar is published.
- Town official contact page identifies 231-233-9017 for the transfer-site attendant and 6011 South Lakeshore Drive for disposal. Footer address 4879 W Deren Road is Township Hall, not the transfer entrance.
- Detailed recycling resin/container rules, ordinary appliance preparation and large-item limits were not established from the town page. Ask the attendant rather than treating the three broad accepted categories as unlimited acceptance.
