Residents using the Transfer Station are required to purchase and use punch cards.
*Garbage/Misc: Punch cards are available in the amounts of $20, $10, and $5.
*Recycling/Brush: The Annual Recycling Pass (recycling&brush) is available for $30.00 for unlimited recycling during Transfer Station Hours (only available for purchase at township hall). Alternatively, a $15 recycling punch card (recycling only) is available, covering 5 bags sized 1-55 gallons each.
Punch cards/passes can be purchased from the Township Hall with cash, check, or credit/debit card. Purchases of punch cards at the Transfer Station require EXACT cash or a check. The above changes are being made to ensure uniform charging, less handling of cash. Pricing is posted at the Transfer Station to ensure uniform charging.
2022 Free Dump Passes are now available!
The Township Board has changed the free pass from $5 to spend to "one free load up to $25." The card must be surrendered at time of use and will cover no more than twenty-five dollars.

Below is the comparison of pricing that has been in place since 2016, and the new prices effective July 2019.
Please note most did not change, rather the list is simply more broken down.
*Recycling Pass cost has increased from $10 to $30... Costs incurred by the Township to keep recycling available is greatly increasing. We plan to continue offering the opportunity to recycle at our Transfer Station, unfortunately, some of the cost must be passed on to the users.
