Free Dump Day
Greenwood Township is Hosting a Free Dump Day
Greenwood Township will be hosting a free summer cleanup day for township residents only to dispose of items they no longer need. This is an opportunity for residents to clean up their properties that may have accumulated unsightly items over time.
Township Supervisor Fred Lindsey announced that large dumpsters will be placed at the transfer site located at 3510 Red Oak Road on Saturday,
June 29, 2024 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
The dumpsters will be available for large items that one may not be able to easily dispose of. Such items include furniture, mattresses, metal, and other bulky items. The township will NOT accept tires, refrigerators/freezers, hazardous waste items, or propane tanks. Paint cans will be accepted if the tops are removed and the can is dry and filled with cat litter.
You must present proof of residency to participate, i.e. tax bill. The township hopes to have assistance available if needed. Please call (989) 786-7872, extension 5, for questions or additional information.
