1. How do I dispose of yard waste?

Johnston Farm and Composting, Deerfield Township, MI (517-546-6271) and Tuthill Farms and Composting, South Lyon, MI (248-437-7354) are also places that accept yard waste for a fee.

2. Does the Township have pick-up service for large items?

Residents can purchase a sticker for $15 from the Township Treasurer's office to attach to the large item. The township will notify the hauler and the item will be picked up on Mondays. Stickers must be purchased by Friday at noon. One sticker is required for each item to be disposed of. Large items include appliances, furniture and mattresses. Refrigerators must have the Freon removed. Specific details on what will be picked up and how to prepare items for disposal will be provided at time of sticker purchase.

3. Some of my neighbors and I would like to contract with the same municipal refuse hauler. Can this service be placed on our taxes?

Yes, if a majority of the property owners in the area where the service will be provided sign a petition requesting the service, the board can create the special assessment district. Jointly contracting for this service actually helps preserve your roads. Refuse trucks are very heavy. If your neighborhood can reduce the number of trucks coming into the neighborhood by contracting for a single hauler you will help preserve the longevity of your road. Contracting with a single hauler often reduces the cost for the service.
