Other notes
- Use public-works parking lot entrance; HHW building is immediately west of Public Works. County says site is in Spring Lake Township along Highway 282, about one-third mile west of Highway 13/282/County Road 17 junction; Jordan is the mailing city.
- Current county price page was read directly for fees. Do not call the older city-hosted guide a verified 2026 revision: its references are to 2025, and current county guide returned 403/timeout. Material/hour age is explicit.
- Guide excludes garbage, furniture, mattresses/box springs, carpet, windows/doors and yard waste. This is not a household garbage transfer station even though it takes many special recyclables.
- Bring products upright in a rigid box/container, accessible for staff; check in with ID and payment ready. Be prepared to unload your vehicle. Separate batteries and handle damaged/swollen ones only after calling for advice.
- Guide accepts sharps only in approved sharps containers and does not accept medications. County price list says gas lawn mowers must have oil/gas drained. Ask staff about preparation rather than pouring fluids into an onsite waste stream unannounced.
- Reuse Room has different closing times and an obvious older Saturday 11:45 PM typo; no nighttime reuse access is inferred. Verify room hours separately from HHW gate hours.
