Curbside Recycling:

Residents can participate in a curbside recycling program through the township.  Recyclables are collected by Republic Services every 4th Wednesday (click here for calendar).  When the regularly scheduled collection day falls on or after a holiday in that week, service will be provided one day later.  Materials must be set out the night before collection.  This service is for residential homes only.

To sign up for this valuable program please go online at allegancounty.org. Under the health tab, find recycling with a sign up link there. You can also contact Republic Customer Service at 877-698-7274 or call Allegan County Resource Recovery at 269-686-4559.  (This service is funded by the $50 surcharge on the winter tax bill.)

The following recycling items can be comingled together:  Plastic bottles and containers, metal cans, clear and colored glass, newspapers, paper, cardboard and magazines.  Items must be clean!  If your cart is not large enough to accommodate your recycling needs, remember that this material can be dropped off at the two other depot stations available(see below).
