  • Garbage service is changing to Rural Garbage Pickup Service starts January 1, 2012
    The Township is trying out a new rural pickup service in 2012 due to continuous cost increases and management problems with the dumpsters located in Gay; the dumpsters will be removed on December 31, 2011. The garbage fee has been removed from your tax statement. You may choose from weekly to monthly pickup on a seasonal or yearly basis. All household recyclables will be picked for free which can reduce your amount of garbage. Property owners may arrange for curbside-pickup service by calling Greg Nantell of Rural Garbage Pickup Service at: 906-233-9682 Details of the service are as follows:
    • Pickup frequency is flexible; you can choose weekly, biweekly, or monthly pickup for seasonal or yearly service; or you can opt out entirely
    • Pickup at end of driveway on Thursday afternoons
    • Each pickup of two 40-gallon bags is $4.25; any additional 40-gallon bags are $1.00 each. Billing cycle is quarterly (3-month service) The cost per year is as follows:
      • Monthly service is $51.00/year
      • Biweekly service is $110.50/year
      • Weekly service $204.00/year with “Free Month Deal”
      • Seasonal service cost is based upon your needs
