Garbage (REFUSE) Collection

The objectives of

"THE DAYTON TOWNSHIP REFUSE ORDINANCE"

are:

· To prevent the discard of garbage and refuse within the Township except by approved waste disposal means and methods.
· To provide for a cost effective means and method of disposing of garbage and refuse.
· To encourage the citizens of the Township to recycle salvageable household refuse and discarded household items.

Dayton Township contracts for township-wide refuse collection with Waste Management of MI.
