Other notes
- This White Lake Area facility is near Whitehall/Montague in Muskegon County, not White Lake Township in Oakland County. Use the Holton-Whitehall Road entrance, not Whitehall Township Hall.
- Prices come from the actual authority sheet effective November 1, 2026, hosted by member City of Montague and linked by Whitehall Township. Older 2025 fee sheets must not override it.
- All loads subject to staff inspection. Hazardous materials prohibited. Cement is redirected elsewhere by the fee sheet, not accepted as ordinary building waste. Payment methods were not verified; call.
- Whitehall Township's leaf/brush station at Whitehall Road and Benston Road is a different, resident-only facility. Its yard-waste rules do not establish access or free disposal at this paid authority station.
- The fee table classifies T Vs with mid-size appliances; it does not establish that every screen or hazardous electronic item is accepted. Ask about unusual electronics or oversized loads before traveling.
