1. How do I know what zone I am located in?

We can help you identify your zone with our online parcel lookup map. 

2. Can the "pickers" remove items from the curb?

Because items are being placed in the right-of-way for collection, the Township has little recourse available to prevent individual refuse collectors (i.e. "pickers) from removing any items left at the curb. 

3. What do I do if my items were not picked up?

College Hunks will collect items that were left at the curb in the corresponding zone by 11pm on the Sunday prior to collection starting. Items placed at the curb after 11pm cannot be guaranteed for pickup. 

Please note that this service is only available for single-family residential homes and condominiums. If you live in an apartment complex or manufactured home community, your property is either commercial or industrial, or your parcel is vacant, pickup service will not be available.  

If you believe your items were missed, please contact the Township Office at 269-375-1591.

4. Why is the collection period for each zone one full week?

The Township has never offered a curbside bulk item collection service, so we don't have a baseline for estimating the collection amount. We have done our best to estimate collection and identify zones of ~1,500 homes - ensuring that our collection agency, College Hunks, will have ample time to provide thorough service in a guaranteed window of time. While the collection zone is six days, collection within a zone may be completed in a shorter period of time - this depends on participation and volume of items collected. If the pilot program is successful and there is support for continued iterations of this service, the collection window may be able to be reduced based on the data collected during this pilot program. 

5. Will the Township also offer Dumpster Day events?

The Township will not be offering any Dumpster Day events in 2022 while it pilots the curbside pickup service.
