There is no limit to the number of recyclable bags but Allied will only pick
up recyclables in the correct bags and sorted correctly. Please do
your part to make this service run smoothly and efficiently by sorting as
follows:
How to Properly Bag Your Recyclables
Place together in a bag: newspapers, brown paper bags,
magazines, junk mail, phone books, boxboard (cereal and cracker boxes with
liners removed: no plastic coated cartons), and corrugated cardboard (folded
or cut to fit).
Place together in a bag: colorless glass bottles and jars, metal and foil
food containers, empty aerosol cans, and #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs
(look for the code on the bottom of the container). PLEASE RINSE
FOOD CONTAINERS.
If your properly bagged items are set out on time
but not picked up, please call Resource Recovery promptly. Their number is
269-673-5415.
Other Recycling Information
All other recycling services remain the same. Appliances, tires,
household batteries and Styrofoam, as well as cardboard boxes too large to fit
into curbside recycling bags can be taken to the monitored depot at:
Salem Township Transfer Station on 29th Street, 1/4 mile South of 142nd Avenue
This site is open from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on the first and third Saturdays of
the month from March through December. Residents must present their Resource
Recovery cards, which were distributed by the Township to all who pay the annual
recycling fee.
Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Information
Household hazardous wastes are accepted, by appointment,
at the Allegan County Health Department on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the
year. Call Resource Recovery to arrange a time to drop off oil based paints,
flammable materials or toxic household products which should not be disposed of
in household trash. Also, mercury thermometers, which pose a health hazard if
they break, are accepted at the Health Department's front desk anytime during
regular business hours at no charge.
