Who can use it

Hours
- Current township homepage winter schedule, Labor Day-Memorial Day: Saturday 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.; Monday 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Facility-local Central Time.
- Older township building page instead says winter Saturday/Monday 10 a.m.-noon. Current homepage and canister-service page agree on longer winter hours; call if arriving outside the overlapping 10-noon window.
Sticker or permit
Required: No (see notes)
Price: No permit fee stated on the linked page; confirm access requirements.
Where to buy: Contact the facility for access questions.
Per-item fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Garbage bag tag | Current township pages: $6/tag or $30/sheet of five; one township orange tag on each bag up to 33 gallons. |
| Older bag policy conflict | Building-directory page still says mandatory orange 32-gallon bags at $5 each/$25 per five. Current homepage and service page specify $6 tags on bags up to 33 gallons. Confirm correct supply before purchase; do not rely on the older bag price. |
Hazardous waste
Town explicitly says hazardous materials, electronics, fluorescent bulbs and batteries are no longer accepted. Do not bring them to the canister station. Automotive-fluid wording is ambiguous, so confirm rather than assuming motor oil is accepted.
Holiday closures
Holiday closures not published on the linked facility page. Confirm before a holiday visit.

Other notes
- Current homepage was updated November 3, 2026. It and the service page agree on winter hours and $6 tags, but they disagree on summer Saturday, Monday and Wednesday windows. Summer has ended; do not carry either conflicting schedule forward to summer 2027 without confirmation.
- Tags are sold at named local vendors including Crooked Lake Cafe, Land O Lakes Marine and Ace Hardware in Emily. Vendor lists differ between town pages; call ahead for stock. No online purchase or signup is performed here.
- The service page says the township no longer accepts hazardous materials, including paint, adhesives, mercury products, corrosives, pesticides, old gasoline, electronics, bulbs and batteries. Do not treat adjacent recycling containers as a place to abandon these items.
- No verified street number is published in the retrieved town station descriptions, so the address remains the official Woods Bay Drive location description. Township mailing PO Box 5 is not a disposal address.
- The separate county Pine River facility is mentioned for hazardous/special materials. Its hours and current acceptance are not established by this town schedule; verify with Cass County before traveling.
